ROH Luncheon History
The Ribbon of Hope Luncheon was originated in 2001 as an additional fund raiser for the Women's Wellness Fund. The Fund, established in 1995, provides much needed mammography, diagnostic services and prosthetic apparel to underserved and under insured women in our community.
To date, the fund has helped nearly 9000 women and raised over $900,000 through the Walk for Women's Wellness and The Ribbon of Hope Luncheon.
Past speakers at the luncheon have been: Dr. Jerri Nielson, physician who treated herself while on duty at the South Pole, Susan Ford, former first daughter, Astronaut Mae Jemison, Geralyn Lucas, Dr. Lillie Shockney, Stephanie Speilman, wife of OSU football star Chris Speilman, Dr. Vladimir Lange and Today show Host, Hoda Kotb.
As a result of the Ribbon of Hope Luncheon, a group of women got together and formed the Ribbon of Hope Society. The society consists of individuals who are committed to donating $1000 or more per year to the Women's Wellness Fund to further assist the growing need.
Over the years, the luncheon has grown from a mere 75 attendees to over 650 attendees in 2010. Many corporations and organizations attend in addition to individuals who are dedicated to supporting the Women's Wellness Fund.
