McLeod Health is set to host its annual An Evening of Hope Cancer Benefit on Thursday, September 24, at Francis Marion University’s Performing Arts Center. This event, presented by Harbor Freight Tools Foundation, LLC, aims to celebrate courage and community while supporting cancer survivors and the HOPE Fund.

The evening will commence at 6:00 p.m. with a strolling dinner and cocktail hour, providing guests an opportunity to connect. Following this, attendees will hear inspiring stories from courageous survivors who share their experiences and emphasize the importance of each day. These individuals, along with other supporters of the HOPE Fund, highlight how charitable contributions are crucial for providing essential services that complement medical care.

While the event takes place in Florence, the benefit supports regional healthcare efforts, including those that may impact residents of Lexington and the broader Midlands area who seek specialized medical care. Lexington Medical Center, a key healthcare provider in the Lexington area, underscores the importance of such initiatives in the wider healthcare landscape.
