Ribbons of Hope (ROH) is Dance for the Cure's largest annual fundraiser, held every October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the Bridgewater Marriott in Bridgewater, NJ. The event features one of the most impressive basket raffles in the tri-state area, alongside a sit-down dinner and a 50/50 raffle. Each year, over 500 supporters dressed in every shade of pink come together for a memorable evening.
Proceeds from Ribbons of Hope go to assisting local breast cancer patients facing financial hardship due to their diagnosis. Generous donors from across the region contribute items for the basket raffle, and businesses and individuals provide funds, all of which make a meaningful difference. Dance for the Cure's dedicated volunteer team works tirelessly to ensure an unforgettable event that helps local women through their cancer journey.
