Dear Friends of The Herring Foundation of Hope,

Since our founding in 1998, The Herring Foundation of Hope has delivered thousands of Hope Kits to cancer patients in every state in the USA. We have been touched and motivated by some of the most amazing stories of healing and compassion. We have proudly shipped kits for free (or for a nominal charge), which was only made possible by our numerous fund-raising events -- like golf tournaments, charity balls, and road races -- where so many of you gave generously of your time and talents and funds. The Foundation has raised over $1 million since our inception, and because we are an all-volunteer organization, a significant percentage of the monies raised went directly to supporting newly diagnosed cancer patients.

Thanks so much to everyone – including our initial group of founders, our generous event sponsors, those who participated in our events, everyone who volunteered in any capacity, and our current Board of Advisors. Everyone has been instrumental to our success. Nothing we have accomplished would have been possible without you.

About 18 months ago, market dynamics and other factors led the Board of Advisors to discuss our past and evaluate our future. As a result, we announced last year that we would permanently close our operations on December 31, 2018, to coincide with our 20th Anniversary.

As we wind down this month, we will be donating all remaining Hope Kits and associated items to local charities -- such as libraries, shelters, missions, support groups, and cancer-focused organizations, in hopes that the information can be shared in order to continue supporting our cause a bit longer.

We began this journey to honor our dear friend/son/husband, Jeff Herring, and we all feel that we have done that beyond our wildest dreams. It has been our pleasure to work alongside so many of you to make that happen. We have been blessed to be part of this organization, to have many old friends and new acquaintances join our mission over the past two decades, and to have so many good times while supporting such a worthwhile cause.

In closing, thank you again for your support! Of course, unfortunately, new cancer diagnoses are still prevalent in our world, most every minute of every day. Each of us is touched all too often by cancer. There is still work to be done. We encourage you to consider redirecting your time and talents and donations towards another worthy organization(s) that focuses on eradicating this ruthless disease for good; and/or assists those who are afflicted.

With deepest appreciation,

THE BOARD OF ADVISORS

The Herring Foundation of Hope was honored by Wells Fargo with a $1,000 grant at the Days of Giving celebration in Atlanta on Oct. 29.

The Herring Foundation of Hope was among 55 groups chosen by the bank’s team members for the recognition in Atlanta. The donation helped push total giving to more than $1 million since the program’s beginning five years ago.

“We can do so much with this grant and we appreciate Wells Fargo’s generosity,” said Mark Blount, Executive Director of The Herring Foundation of Hope. “This donation will directly impact our Hope Kit program, which has supported almost 4,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients since our inception.”

Baseball great Brian Jordan addressed those assembled, and his foundation was one of the honorees.

“Dream big and reach for the stars,” he told the group. “Believe in what you do. Reach out to everyone – a lot of people want to help. And a lot of people need help.”

Wells Fargo Atlanta President Carol Morris led the ceremony. “We appreciate what The Herring Foundation of Hope does every day to help others,” she said.

Added Robert Dobbs, Wells Fargo business banking manager, “This is one way we are trying to be the best local bank in Atlanta.”

The recognition event took place at the Evergreen Marriott Resort at Stone Mountain Park.
