Larry and Kathy Jones Family H.O.P.E. Campaign Raises Over $17,000

Dexter, Missouri - Each year the Larry B. Jones H.O.P.E. Campaign raises money for 18FORE Life.  T-shirts are sold and memorial donations were also given when Kathy Jones passed away in August of 2016.  In all more than $17,000 was raised by the charity and to date more than $85,000 has been raised since 2011.

Below is a letter from the family of Larry and Kathy Jones.........

Dear Supporters of the H.O.P.E. Campaign and 18 FORE Life:

Thank you so very much for your t-shirt order and/or donation!  We are pleased to share with you that we sold over 200 t-shirts this year!  This past year, including memorial donations, a HUGE fundraiser led by Lora’s sister-in-law, Fara, at St. Frances Cabrini School in Michigan, and this year’s t-shirt sales, we’ve been able to give a total of over $17,000 to 18 FORE Life.  This is SEVENTEEN $1,000 donations that have blessed families going through some of the scariest and most stressful times in their lives.

In the past six years, since we lost Dad in 2011, the H.O.P.E. Campaign has raised over $85,500 for area cancer warriors and individuals faced with life-threatening illness.  This is amazing!  We could not have done this without your help.  Our family knows personally the gifts received with each $1,000 “love offering” that is given, and we’re honored to work with you so that together we can bless others with gifts of hope, love and encouragement.  

When we lost Mom this past August, we renamed our charity the “Larry & Kathy Jones Family H.O.P.E. Campaign.”  This year, our new t-shirts reflect our new name.  The design idea came easily this year.  We used a photo that we took from our parents’ farm the afternoon that our mother passed away.  The sky was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful that day.  There were three distinct sunrays, which are significant for us; we continue this Campaign of Healing, Optimism, Prayer and Example to honor the memories of Dad, Mom and our sister, Sara.  We hope you like the new t-shirts, and we thank you for your continued support of the H.O.P.E. Campaign as we continue to raise prayers, funds and hope for area cancer warriors and individuals faced with life-threatening illnesses.  

We are truly honored to be part of such a wonderful community of people who offer so much support and encouragement, which allows us to help give back in this way.  We could not do any of this without you.  We thank God for each of you.  

Thank you so much for helping us give back!  Your support means so much!
