The Victory Center is all about honoring the cancer survivor and ensuring no one faces their battle alone. We have lost many friends and loved ones over the years that we keep in our hearts with this year's Hope Tree. Stop by the Survivor Table to enter to win our raffle and add the name of a loved one who has gone through cancer to the tree. Once the art installation piece is finished, it will find a forever home at The Victory Center to provide hope and encouragement to those currently undergoing treatment.
What is the Jewelry Pull?
For just $20 per 'pull', you get to select a mystery box of jewelry from our table display or wandering sales-gals. Everyone goes home with something sparkly. Two lucky winners will pull either a beautiful sapphire necklace generously donated by Alan Miller Jewelers or sapphire earrings generously donated by C. Sterling Jewelers.
Who are the Tie Guys?
Volunteer salesmen will be wandering the Lobby from 10:30-11:30am to sell raffle tickets! Track them down in their dashing ties or head directly over to the credit card table to pay with plastic. Tie Guys can accept cash or check.
