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.

Jaye Eigler

Jaye Eigler is a lifelong entrepreneur whose creativity, resilience, and passion for fashion led her to build several successful businesses over a career spanning more than three decades.

Beginning in the apparel industry, Jaye founded Baby Boxers, a children's clothing company that grew into a $40 million business. 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. She expanded the business into a successful e-commerce company, developed exclusive products for QVC and Target, and was featured on national television and in numerous publications, including a front-page feature in The Wall StreetJournal.

Dana's path to entrepreneurship was shaped by resilience. After losing both of her parents early in life and later rebuilding her life as a single mother of three, she turned her lifelong love of fashion into a successful business built through hard work, determination, and word of mouth.

Dana's greatest joy is her family, her lifelong friendships, and helping others feel confident, both inside and out.
