Blossoms of Hope began 9 years ago to support the Claudia Mayer/Tina Broccolino Cancer Resource Center. With almost $230,000 donated from the cherry tree project since its inception, Howard County has benefitted from the blooming of more than 1,700 Kwanzan Cherry Trees, Cherokee Brave Dogwoods and Redbuds planted in both public and private areas throughout the county.
In collaboration with Howard County Tourism, Blossoms of Hope is proud to announce the several seasonal activities for this year’s SpringCHERRYBRATION DAYS! Activities cater to all ages and interests while supporting one overall goal: to raise cancer awareness and encourage support for recovery.
As you enjoy the special CHERRYBRATION events, please remember this special cause.
