Emily's Hopeful Holiday

Financially assisting families who have a child or young adult with cancer ~ Established 2007

  • Who We Are, What We Do

    Emily’s Hopeful Holiday was created in honor of our daughter Emily, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 7 in 2007. She was treated at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio and is now a CANCER SURVIVOR.

    During our painful journey we discovered that there were many families who struggle with the staggering cost of cancer treatments.
    This motivated us to start raising money for families who did not have the financial resources to deal with a cancer diagnosis.

    In 2007, we established Emily's Hopeful Holiday where 100% of the money we raise goes directly to families to financially assist them with anything they need.

    For more information on EHH, please review this blog and the FAQ's at the top.

    We no longer have an annual fundariser, but are fortunate to still receive donations yearly. At our family's discretion and with the cooperation and agreement of our personal donors, we now distribute the money outside of the hospital. We offer financial assistance to families with a child or young adult with cancer.

    Please use the CONTACT ME button to email me if you would like more information.

    To donate, use the PAYPAL DONATION button on the right side bar to make a donation or contact me.

    This fund assists families throughout the entire year.

    We will always remember the fear and heartache of chemo treatments, lumbar punctures, sedations, medical procedures, surgeries, and anxiously waiting on every test result. Our nerve wracking, yet relatively simple routine trips to the Ireland Cancer Center for Emily’s check-ups remind us of where we have been and that there are families, children, and young adults just beginning this journey, continuing to endure this journey, and/or ending this journey with either an immense gratefulness or an unspeakable sadness.

    We are so grateful for Emily’s amazing prognosis, for her health, for her laughter, for her smile, for her silliness, for her. We thank God everyday for His blessing upon our family and for all the wonderful people who surround our lives with love and support.

Two weeks remain to sponsor an ad in our Sponsor Booklet.

Please use the contact me button if you are interested in supporting EHH and helping us help families who have kids with cancer.  For ad layout info, visit:  https://emilyshopefulholiday.wordpress.com/coupon-sponsor-recognition-booklet-info/.

By sponsoring an ad, you are showing your support to families who have kids fighting cancer.  The Sponsor Booklets are handed out at our annual event to approximately 200 people.  This year’s event is at Ziggy’s in Amherst, OH on November 10th, from 3-7.  It includes, many raffle items, entertainment (this year’s band is Me & My Brother), and dine to donate – 15% back to EHH from Ziggy’s.  

Raffle donations are also being accepted now.  Raffles are one of our biggest money makers.  Without the help and support of family, friends, and local businesses, we could not keep EHH going.  Some great ideas to donate are:  lottery basket, Italian theme, OSU, etc.  We have friends who donate in memory of someone, or simply just want to be part of making a direct impact on families who have kids with cancer.  100% of ALL money raised, goes directly to families to help them pay bills while their kids are being treated for cancer.

Sponsorship Opportunities/Ad Placement

Posted by emilyshopefulholiday on April 27, 2012


Sponsorship Opportunities

In celebrating our 6th year anniversary, and attempting to match our goal of $20,000 from last year, we are relying on the financial support of businesses and individuals to assist us in continuing to provide financial assistance to families who have children with cancer at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.

Since it was such a huge success, once again we will be creating a Sponsor booklet just like last year.  It will be 8 ½ x 5 1/2 and will contain ads from local businesses showing their support to families who have children with cancer.  We encourage you to include in your ad a message of hope to families with children with cancer and how proud you are to support Emily’s Hopeful Holiday.  We will include stories of families we have assisted financially to put faces behind our cause.  These books will be sold throughout the Lorain County area at the various fundraising events we attend throughout the year and at our annual event in November, 2012.

I am leaving it up to each business to incorporate a coupon(s) within your ad should you wish to do so.  Please keep in mind the space you will need to place an ad and coupon as both will not fit in the ¼ page ad.  I suggest 1/3 page and up for those wanting to do both.

Deadline for submission of ads is August 31, 2012.  Expiration dates for coupons are your choice with last possible expiration date being August 31, 2013.  Ad space is as follows:

  • 1/4 Page Ad – $50
  • 1/3 Page Ad – $100
  • 1/2 Page Ad – $150
  • Whole Page Ad – $250
  • Sponsorship Front: $500, COLOR Name on Front of Booklet plus full page Ad inside.  *Only 2 Spots available
  • Sponsorship Back: $300, COLOR Name on Front of Booklet plus 1/2 page Ad inside. *Only 3 spots available

See https://emilyshopefulholiday.wordpress.com/coupon-sponsor-recognition-booklet-info/ for info on ad sizes.

**Everyone placing an ad will also be recognized on our website and Facebook page acknowledging your support.

Raffle Donations

  • Our annual fundraiser is every November locally in Amherst, Ohio and we are always in need of raffle items. Our fundraiser is known for our amazing and numerous raffles. Raffles alone generate nearly $3000 of our annual fundraising campaign.  Gift certificates, pampering items, themed baskets, etc. are always welcome.

**Sponsors and Raffle Donors will be recognized in our Emily’s Hopeful Holiday Sponsor Booklet, on our website and Facebook page acknowledging your support.

We are beginning to accept ads, raffle donations and sponsorship for the MacBook Air now and will receive them through August 31, 2012 (raffle donations accepted up until two weeks before event date). Please make your tax deductible donation out to Emily’s Hopeful Holiday/Rainbow and send to the address below.

As always, THANK YOU for your continued support!  Without YOUR help, we cannot help families who have children with cancer.
