Trees of Hope 2021 has been Cancelled

It is with a heavy heart we are announcing the cancellation of Trees of Hope 2021. With on-going concerns about the covid virus, we made the hard decision to cancel this year's event. We are eternally Grateful to all our supporters, including our host hotel- Radisson Hotel Milwaukee West (Wauwatosa) and their amazing staff. Without them, we would have never been able to raise the funds we did. We Thank all our donors, volunteers and guests who helped us through the years. May we ask that you continue to support the research at Versiti as well as the CIBMTR. Support Kathy's House and their care for patients and families.
On behalf of our family and all of the Lindsay's Voice board Thank You - Thank You - Thank You !!! We were able to raise and distribute over $200,000 in the last 10 years to fight blood cancers. We know Lindsay is looking down and smiling knowing what you have made possible.
Many Blessings Karen and Gene Wenzel

Trees of Hope WI Mission of Lindsay's Voice fighting Leukemia

Mission

Lindsay’s Voice was created as a way to celebrate the life of Lindsay (Wenzel) Lopez, a 32 yr old wife and Mother, who lost her 14-month battle against Leukemia on Nov 22, 2010. In her memory we looked for a way to raise funds to support local patient services and research for anyone who is fighting blood cancers. We are fortunate to have exceptional medical facilities here in SE Wisconsin, who work tirelessly every day to advance the treatments, and extend and improve the quality of life for infants, children, teens, adults that are stricken with Leukemia or Lymphomas. This is our way of keeping Lindsay’s fighting spirit alive and help others. We continue to be “Lindsay’s Voice"

Join our Mission to continue to fight for less toxic and more effective treatments, support local patient services and be Relentless for Cures!!

We have an aggressive goal of raising $50,000 this year through our Trees of Hope Festival event to benefit Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Research, Blood Center of WI and Be The Match (National Marrow Donor Program), Leukemia-Lymphoma Society of WI and patient services through Kathy's House. .Please join with us to help us reach and exceed this goal. Corporate support and involvement is needed and welcomed. Spotlight your company! Organizations and individuals can also make a huge impact as you give back to the community. Make a tax deductible donation- by sponsoring a Themed Christmas Tree, Holiday Wreath, Gift Basket, or donating other Silent Auction items.
Showcase your business and make a difference in the lives of families fighting these evil diseases.

Lindsay’s Voice is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit public charity. Donations can be tax deductible. We are completely volunteer-based
