This annual event know as the Circle of Hope Awards and Grants Luncheon will present some $126,000 to 28 organizations selected from numerous grant applicants. The number of applicants and funds requested continues to grow every year to meet increased needs, so the grants process is very competitive. Grants are made possible from profits generated by CWC's year-round fundraising activities, most notable being the annual Fashion Show benefit and Holiday Home Tour. The success of these activities is made possible through the support of outstanding CWC volunteers and generous business and community partners. These members and businesses will be honored at the luncheon, along with several youths receiving scholarships and grants for volunteerism. Emcee for the event is Scott Murray, nationally recognized, award-winning TV sport caster and current CEO of Murray Media. He also earned CWC's Patron Award in 2004.
