THE ART OF HOPE BY BRYAN SCHRAIER
H
IGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE of art as powerful therapy, supporters and friends of Cancer Support Community came together for the organization’s Art of Hope gala. Recognizing both Dr. John DiPersio and Maryville University’s Kids Rock Cancer, Cancer Support Community filled the ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton with guests. Multiple artists were working on paintings as guests enjoyed cocktails and browsed through silent auction items before heading into the ballroom for a spectacular program, including wine and dinner, awards and music. Proceeds from the evening support the many programs and services that CSC provides to help inspire and support cancer patients, survivors and their families.
