Participating businesses are asked to allow their employees to dress casually and/or wear the cancer ribbon colors on the designated day in support of cancer awareness. Last year, over 130 Bismarck/Mandan businesses participated in this event and more than 8000 individuals received cancer health and wellness information. To participate in project HOPE, each employee is typically asked to make a donation of $10 to the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation. In return for their donation and participation,
Bismarck Cancer Center provides each business with posters, a cancer awareness and wellness newsletter and stickers. All proceeds from project HOPE support the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation. Donations stay local and are used to support cancer patients with financial, transportation, lodging, emotional and spiritual needs and more. Businesses can register online at bismarckcancercenter.com/project-hope. For more information, call 701-222-6100.
