We're proud to join the fight against cancer and are pleased to make this donation on behalf of HOPE," said Barbara Stewart, president of HOPE. "Once again, the generous contributions made by Washington National [certificate](http://www.sacbee.com/2012/10/16/4915221/hope-donates-100000-to-the-american.html# "Click to Continue > by Text-Enhance") holders and HOPE will further support the American Cancer Society's efforts to fund life saving research and programs to help people stay well, get well, and find cures for cancer."

"Once again, the generous contributions made by Washington National certificate holders and HOPE will further support the American Cancer Society's efforts to fund life saving research and programs to help people stay well, get well, and find cures for cancer."
