October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but the impact of cancer reaches far beyond a single diagnosis or a single month. Nearly everyone knows someone whose life has been touched by cancer—a family member, friend, neighbor, coworker, caregiver, survivor, or someone currently in the middle of the fight.
That's why this October, we are sharing Blooms of Hope, a simple way to share hope with those impacted by cancer.
This October we are giving away 500 flowers, each paired with a free coffee gift card. Whether you choose to keep a flower for yourself or give one to someone else, our hope is simple: to brighten someone's day and remind them they are not alone.
How Blooms of Hope Works
We'll be distributing a total of 500 flowers and coffee gift cards (good for the month of October), split between Knoxville and Pella.

Who Are the Flowers For?
Anyone whose life has been impacted by cancer.
Maybe it's you. Maybe it's a friend, neighbor, coworker, parent, child, spouse, or caregiver. Maybe it's someone currently fighting cancer. Maybe it's someone celebrating remission. Maybe it's someone remembering a loved one.
We hope you'll stop by, pick up a flower, and share it with someone whose life has been impacted by cancer. Sometimes hope looks as simple as a flower and a cup of coffee.
