Butterfly Release will take place (weather permitting) after the Live Auction and reading of the names.

According to an American Indian Legend, if anyone desires a wish to come true, they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.  Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly cannot reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.  In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish.  So, according to the legend, by making a wish and then giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens.

Recognize a loved one!

Recognize a cancer survivor or a loved one lost to cancer with a donation to the Wall of Hope. 

A $10.00 ($11.00 online) donation provides one square foot of space with a cutout butterfly with their name printed on it.   

During the morning event in June, all those honored with a butterfly will be read just prior to a live butterfly release.

We invite you to...

...bring in your own photos, poems, and other memorabilia for the Wall of Hope (at Grace Chapel) on  June 14, 2025,  to decorate the square of your survivor/loved one. (If desired, you may take decorations at the end of Festival of Hope)
