🎗️ Hope Warriors Celebration – A Day of Gratitude & Love 🎗️

This past Saturday at the Farmer’s Market, we had the honor of celebrating our incredible cancer survivors and caregivers at our Hope Warriors event. 💛

Each survivor and caregiver received a gift bag full of goodies, tokens to shop at the market, and a delicious lunch voucher for Mimi’s Little Kitchen food truck! 🍔🍓💐

Hope Warriors was founded right here in our county by the late Tonya Sweigart and her family. In memory of Tonya’s powerful legacy and the love she poured into this community, we presented a small gift to her family in gratitude and remembrance. 💐

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported, and helped make this day so meaningful. Together, we continue to honor strength, resilience, and hope. 💪💖
