Magnolia Council presents the Spirit of Hope Luncheon

Since 2009, the Spirit of Hope Luncheon & Boutique has brought together influential women philanthropists and leaders across entertainment, politics, business, and medicine in support of Tower’s mission. Presented by the Magnolia Council, the annual event has raised over $6 million to fund early-stage cancer research and patient support programs.

Grace, strength & sisterhood!

Please join us in honoring three Steel Magnolias!
Jaye Eigler, Dana Levine and Mindy Weiss

Three accomplished sisters - respected business leaders and pillars of the community - faced an extraordinary challenge together. When one sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and discovered she carried the BRCA gene, her two sisters were tested and also found to be positive. They chose proactive, lifesaving surgeries to reduce their cancer risk. Together, they faced this journey with grace, strength and resilience.

She went on to found Intuition, an upscale Los Angeles boutique that became one of Hollywood's premier shopping destinations, known for its carefully curated fashion, unique discoveries, and loyal clientele.
