What is the Brian Demchak Hope Challenge?

 

The Hope Challenge is a fundraiser that supports patients in crisis - whether you walk, run, or get creative, every effort helps provide hope, healing, and independence for those who need it most. 

 

Why is your help important? When you sign up for the Brian Demchak Hope Challenge, the money you raise supports our initiative of wellness in the community and it helps those who are less fortunate by providing valuable services and resources to help them maintain their health.

 

Being sick is difficult enough without having to worry if you have a ride to chemotherapy or treatment, or if you can pay for expensive medicine, home oxygen, walkers, insulin, and other items you need that aren’t covered by insurance. You fill in those heartbreaking gaps with hope and healing for patients of St. Margaret with your support.

​

Help patients in our community by:

• Stocking St. Margaret's Food Pantry

• Stocking St. Margaret's Clothing Closet

• Providing transportation vouchers for free transportation to Chemotherapy, Radiation and Other Treatments

• Providing pharmacy vouchers for free medication

• Providing necessary medical equipment, such as walkers, hearing aids, prosthetic devices, special shoes, humidifiers​
