Pictured above: Traci Gibson, center, with her sisters, Terry (left) and Tami (right) from Traci’s Hope 2005
The 9th Annual Traci's Hope Fund Raiser will be held on Saturday, October 6, from 12:00 Noon until 6:00 pm at the Apalachin Field Day grounds in Apalachin. All proceeds from the event will benefit those fighting breast cancer in Broome, Tioga, and Susquehanna Counties. The event features a BBQ, music, raffle table, and lots for the children to do. The event will take place rain or shine. Cost is $12 for adults and $5 for children ages 6 to 12. Traci's Hope is a non-profit organization founded by Traci Gibson who knew firsthand the difficulties of keeping finances afloat while
dealing with breast cancer. Traci wanted to ensure that she was helping many people even after she was gone. To date, Traci's Hope has helped hundreds of people, all of them here in our local communities, just as Traci wanted. With the community support, Traci's Hope has been able to increase the monetary amount given to each recipient. When Traci's Hope first started, they were able to give each recipient $500. Now they grant each recipient $1,000. Traci's family would like to thank you for supporting her dream to help others afflicted with breast cancer in some way.
