Kirchhoff released a statement highlighting the growth of the nonprofit under her leadership.
“I truly enjoyed my four years at Circle of Hope and serving those with cancer in our community,” said Kirchhoff in a statement. “Under my leadership, I am so proud that we were able to reach new heights surpassing fundraising goals, building strong donor relationships, and increasing corporate sponsorship participation. Working together, we were able to grow the organization financially, nearly doubling our operating budget in the past four years. That growth allowed us to more than double the number of cancer patients that we were able to assist financially, along with offering more than two-fold the number of services, classes, programs and advocacy available to them. I look forward to the next chapter of my life and serving those in our Santa Clarita community in a new capacity.”
Circle of Hope founder Colleen Shaffer praised Kirchhoff’s commitment and said her services will be greatly missed.
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation as the founder of Circle of Hope to Laura Kirchhoff for her commitment to excellence in her service to the Santa Clarita’s cancer community,” Shaffer said in a statement. “Laura has been inspirational, patient, dedicated and an asset for making my dream become a reality when being named the Outstanding Nonprofit of the Year by California State Sen. Scott Wilk and the State of California! Laura will be missed by myself and the clients who she served at Circle of Hope.”
