MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER TO BE HONORED
AT SUPERSIBS! LUNCHEON & SILENT AUCTION
3rd ANNUAL A TRIBUTE TO OUR QUIET HEROES EVENT BENEFITS
SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER
For the third consecutive year, SuperSibs! will host A Tribute To Our Quiet Heroes Luncheon and Silent Auction on Saturday, May 8, 2010 to honor mothers of children with cancer.
Mothers Day weekend is the perfect time to pay tribute to these women who have done little for themselves since their lives were overtaken by hospital visits and treatment schedules. Our challenge and privilege is to provide a few hours of respite and appreciation for these incredible mothers, while raising funds to support their children, the siblings who stand on the sidelines enduring the devastating impact of pediatric cancer on their family, said SuperSibs! Founder and Executive Director Melanie Goldish.
Over the years, the event raised has raised over $150,000 and draw more than 200 guests annually. Quiet Heroes mothers received Vera Bradley bags filled with pampering gifts and custom made Swarovsky crystal bracelets. This year, SuperSibs! is hoping to host 300 guests for this inspirational afternoon. SuperSibs! offers a variety of sponsorships to help cover the cost of the Quiet Hero mothers complimentary attendance.
The excitement and planning for next years event has begun. A Tribute To Our Quiet Heroes Luncheon and Silent Auction will be held on Saturday, May 8, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Westin OHare located at 6100 N. River Road in Rosemont, Illinois. Tickets are $100 and include admission, cocktail reception, luncheon and program. A portion of each ticket price will allow Quiet Hero mothers to have complimentary attendance.
