Join Jerome’s furniture on May 21st at the Walk for Hope in the Fight Against Cancer
Family-owned and operated, Jerome’s Furniture wants to invite you to join them in the Walk for Hope on May 21st. They are proud to announce their support as the local sponsor for the City of Hope, a leader in the fight to conquer cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and other life-threatening diseases. Jerome’s has maintained its dedication to the City of Hope for decades and recently was awarded a Lifetime Achievement designation from the nonprofit thanks to its commitment to the cause. This year, Jerome’s goal is to build awareness and participation for the City of Hope’s fundraiser in San Diego - The Walk for Hope.
The Walk for Hope encompasses an inspiring day event on May 21st at Point Loma Nazarene, selected for its stunning views and central location. Walkers can participate in a 4K or 2K, and will be joined by thousands of attendees who are part of a movement to help people whose lives have been touched by cancer to have hope and be able to live longer, healthier lives.
At the event, attendees will enjoy live music, entertainment, a children’s area, sponsor giveaways and vendor booths, and more. Jerome’s encourages all San Diegans and visitors to make a point to stop by the Survivor’s Pavilion, where the company will have a lounge set up with recliner chairs and a host of comfy seating for walkers. Hosts Ruben Galvan, reporter with San Diego 6 and Geena the Latina, co-host of Geena & Frankie V. on 93.3 will be on-site to greet guests along with Jerry Navarra and family.
By joining together in this mission, Jerome’s is part of the effort to advance the cause, and get closer to the dream of one day living in a world without cancer – especially finding cures and breakthrough treatments for women’s cancers. Please visit any of the company’s seven showrooms across southern California to fill out your entry forms and the sales staff will be ready to provide more information to customers interested in participating.
To communicate the message of The Walk for Hope, Jerome’s will be setting up on-site kiosks where customers can share what “hope” means to them. If you want to share your inspiring message go to www.jeromes.com/hope or the company’s facebook page at www.facebook.com/JeromesSanDiego.
“Jerome’s is in,” said Jerry Navarra, chairman of Jerome’s Furniture. “Faced with alarming statistics with nearly 300,000 women in the U.S. diagnosed with cancers - including our own family members - we feel the fight must continue to conquer this disease. We’re proud local sponsors of the City of Hope’s vision to one day provide a cure for all cancers.”
City of Hope is one of only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, which sets national standards for cancer care. City of Hope's park-like campus lies just northeast of Los Angeles, offering a calming sanctuary rich in natural beauty to the women who seek treatment. At this birthplace for breakthroughs, innovative researchers advance discoveries into new strategies to battle women's cancers. Caring physicians bring emerging therapies to patients. And students receive mentorship from the same scientists who are transforming the landscape of modern medicine. All of this work is made possible by the generosity of loyal philanthropists from across the country.
