A unique and visible connection between women fighting cancer—Circle of Hope Bracelets are responsible for the recent $1000.00 donation made to Upland Hills Hospice.

Founded by a jewelry designer, this community service organization is dedicated to supporting cancer research, awareness and education programs.

Locally, Chris Slaney of Dodgeville sells these unique handcrafted bracelets. The sterling silver bead design is flexible to fit any size wrist and  features different color crystals symbolizing different types of cancer.

Slaney explained that 30% of the proceeds go to a local organization that works with cancer patients, in this case Upland Hills Hospice, and 30% goes to national cancer research/education organizations.

If you are interested in more information regarding the Circle of Hope Bracelet collection call Chris Slaney at 935-9260 after 5 p.m.

Chris & Tom Slaney present Steve McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for Strategic Business Operations and Interim Community Care Director at Upland Hills Health, with a $1000 donation made possible through the sale of Circle of Hope Bracelets.
