10th Annual Traci's Hope The 10th Annual Traci's Hope Fund Raiser was held on Saturday, October 5, at the Apalachin Field Day grounds in Apalachin. All proceeds from the event will benefit those fighting breast cancer in Broome, Tioga, and Susquehanna Counties. The event featured a BBQ, music, raffles, and many activities for the children. Traci's Hope is a non-profit organization founded by Traci Gibson who knew firsthand the difficulties of keeping finances afloat while dealing with breast cancer. Traci wanted to ensure that she was helping many people even after she was gone. To date, Traci's Hope has helped hundreds of people, all of them here in our local communities, just as Traci wanted.
Traci's family would like to thank you for supporting her dream to help others afflicted with breast cancer in some way.
