11th Annual Stowe Weekend of Hope
April 29 - May 1, 2011
Registration will be available in late February 2011. |
| What is the Stowe Weekend of Hope? |
The Stowe Weekend of Hope is an annual forum for education, enlightenment, and recreation for cancer patients and survivors with any type of cancer…and their families. The focus is to inspire, educate, and celebrate the lives of people living with cancer. This unique event addresses the complex challenges and needs of people with cancer at any stage in their disease. Cancer presents families with many challenges – physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial.
Each year, the Stowe Area Association lodging members donate hundreds of free rooms to cancer survivors and their loved ones. The Stowe community opens its collective heart and its doors, places of worship, and beautiful natural wonders to families needing a retreat dedicated to giving them the tools to cope with cancer.

| TESTIMONIALS |
Click here to listen to a 2009 interview on Vermont Public Radio with Joanna Bull, 2009 SWOH keynote speaker, and cofounder of Gilda's Club Worldwide. Joanna speaks about the tremendous importance of cancer support to gather and learn together how to live with cancer. Joanna says. "I see the Stowe Weekend of Hope as a unique situation, a unique opportunity for people to get together, it's like Gildas Club exponentially improved and advanced all in one weekend. Why? Because there are dozens of opportunities with hundreds of people with incredibility rich offerings for people living with cancer, whether in treatment or whether they are living with it chronically, whether they have just been diagnosed, or whether they are now trying to find a deeper meaning in an experience in the past. What an incredibly rich experience in this Stowe Weekend of Hope. I don't know of anything like it in the world, it's just wonderful."
"It is difficult to come up with the superlatives that would describe the benefits and enjoyment your efforts provide for the participants in the Stowe Weekend of Hope. Can you imagine going from worry to serenity? ...from hopelessness to joy? The setting, the planning, the participation ensured by you, the organizers!... WOW! ...there "aren't any words" to describe the HIGH that this weekend provides for the survivors of the BIG CA! ...Thank you for all your time....special efforts....initiative...understanding....!!!"
