Event raises $4,000 for Griffin breast center

DERBY — The 13th Hope Lives event raised $4,000 for breast cancer screening services at The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital in Derby. Hope Lives is associated with Horizon of Hope, a national campaign by Longaberger Baskets to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research and local breast cancer services. For the past 13 years, Longaberger Independent Consultant Maria Ammar, of Woodbridge, has organized a luncheon fundraiser as part of the campaign. The donation will be used to help local women pay for breast cancer screening services and to purchase a lymphedema sleeve for a woman in need.
