In 2002 I received my first Longaberger Horizon of Hope basket from a friend. Since then she has sent me one each year. I now have a nice collection of these beautiful baskets.
Since 1995 The Longaberger Company has teamed up with the American Cancer Society to raise funds for breast cancer research and education. This program is called Horizon of Hope. So far the program has raised twelve million dollars. The specially designed baskets are sold during their Horizon of Hope campaign. Two dollars from every basket sold goes directly to the American Cancer Society.
The Horizon of Hope baskets also include important educational information and guidelines on mammograms and breast exams.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of 2001. I now look at these baskets that I have received over the years and I get excited as I see the collection grow. I expect to be an old lady with a whole wall of baskets!
