Tippet said Circle of Hope, Inc. is expanding the range of cancers it covers.

“We are no longer just a breast cancer support group,” he said.

“We are now helping with six different cancers and are looking to expand to melanoma, as well,” Tippet said.

Circle of Hope, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization, said Tippet.

Tippet takes no salary as executive director.

“Every penny raised goes directly into providing help to our clients battling cancer in the SCV,” he said.
