give hope

Give Hope™ is an initiative from The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation for raising funds for the fight against childhood cancer. 

The basic premise for the initiative is to tap into the joy of giving. Whenever a person reaches out to another person with a gift, the Give Hope Box and Give Hope Envelope enables him or her to share their generosity between the receiver and children fighting cancer. You give while giving. 

Out of the 50 sek spent on the box or the envelope, a minimum of 40 sek goes directly to The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. 

Keep track of Give Hope™ and order your gift boxes at givehope.se
