The 22nd annual Ribbon of Hope event, held on October 4th, raised over $160,000 for the Women’s Wellness Fund at Kettering Health Foundation. More than 400 women from across Dayton, Ohio, attended, enjoying a vendor boutique with wellness information and shopping opportunities. Maddie Spielman, daughter of Chris and Stefanie Spielman (after whom the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center is named), delivered the keynote speech at the luncheon organized by Kettering Health Foundation to support breast cancer care and awareness.  Since its inception, the Women’s Wellness Fund has helped more than 16,000 women, and more than $2.2 million has been raised since 1995.
