and in honor of all who have fought breast cancer and who are currently fighting the fight.

In this season of thankfulness and giving, we want to take a moment to extend our gratitude to you for your involvement with Hope Chest and for making a difference.

The last two months have been incredible! You attended events throughout Minnesota supporting our wonderful community partners helping to raise critical funds for breast cancer patients. You attended Wine & Dine for Hope and showed your support on Give to the Max Day helping us raise awareness and funds to support local Minnesota breast cancer patients and their families.

You have truly made a difference in keeping patients in their homes, their lights and heat on, their cars running and full of gas to get to their medical appointments, and food on their table, for that you have our deepest gratitude!

We wish you joy, love, peace and time with loved ones this holiday season!

Meet Shannon McDonough, Secretary of Breast Cancer Foundation Board

Shannon is a shareholder and Head of the Law Firm’s Employment and Litigation Groups – Fafinski Mark & Johnson, P.A. 



I first became involved with Hope Chest as pro bono employment counsel in 2014. I was motivated to continue my involvement as my Mom is a breast cancer survivor. I was a first-hand witness to the incredible challenges cancer patients and their families face throughout the entire journey. Hope Chest is there to help by alleviating financial strains and providing basic but important daily needs. I am incredibly proud to be a part of the Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation Board to further their mission. 

Thank you to all of our November Community partners who hosted events and fundraised for Hope Chest and to everyone in our community who attended!
