2014 Harvest of Hope

The Harvest of Hope is approaching quickly as Fall is in the air. The event will be on October 10th, 5:30-8 pm. 

We're excited to support the Hansen Family and the Josh Schiffman Cancer Lab. 

Josh is a renowned pediatric hematologist-oncologist at Primary Children's Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute. Dr. Shiffman's research focuses on the development of childhood cancer and he runs a translational genomics laboratory to identify which children are at risk for cancer and why.

The Hansen Family have three children, two with special needs. Together, they've faced cancer, chronic, debilitating illness and Neuromuscular Disease, with associated disabilities.

The oldest son, Oakley is on life-support. Oakley, has survived over one hundred surgeries. He had two strokes, which left him a quadriplegic. He also suffered two cardiac arrest, which caused damaged to the majority of his major organs. Oakley also sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. However, Oakley's unyielding love, courage, strength and perseverance continue to strengthen and humble the Hansen family. As he passed his 21st birthday recently, his status with insurance has become more complicated and dire. This has been overwhelming for the Hansens, but even during this time he continues to teach us the importance of celebrating individual strengths and always striving to rise above their limitations.

Gracey's Harvest of Hope is a 501c3 organization. #graceysharvestofhope




2013 Gracey's Harvest of Hope

Gracey's Harvest of Hope had a wonderful second year as we supported the Sterners. Thanks to everyone involved! We can't believe we're only about a month away from the 3rd year. Here are some great pictures from 2013. We hope to see you again soon.
