Hana spent her entire professional career assisting hair-loss clientele and operating a successful hair and wig salon. Suddenly she was faced with her own "journey of one thousand miles." Nineteen years ago a series of fundraisers organized by a loving family member, friends and compassionate strangers were held to raise financial support to help pay insurmountable medical bills for an advanced stage breast cancer patient. That patient was Hana. Humbled by the outpouring of support and love of so many people, Hana realized that the concept of "Hana's Hope" would be a perfect vehicle to "Pay It Forward," especially for clients with few or no financial resources. Hana has worked with many top oncology departments and hospitals in the Denver Metro area, including Children's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, Boulder Community Hospital and Rose Medical Center. She has built a reputation as one of the most prestigious self-imaging services for clients who face hair loss and changed skin conditions resulting from medical issues.

The Jennie Goas Silverman Foundation was created with love by some of Jennie's closest friends to honor her spirit, sparkle and brilliance. Jennie was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in June of 2016 and fought a hard battle with this devastating disease until she passed away on May 20, 2017. Jennie was a special person who impacted the lives of the people she touched. First and foremost she was a daughter, sister, wife and friend, and she always took those roles seriously. Next, she was a teacher, a high school math teacher in the CPS system. She was beautiful inside and out, she was generous, she was brilliant, she was humble and she was kind. These qualities have inspired us to create this foundation and continue to help her spirit live on through philanthropy. The Jennie Goas Silverman Foundations fundraising efforts have a dual approach: 1) Raise funds to award a qualified senior year student(s) in the communities Jennie taught with a scholarship to attend a 4-year college. 2) Raise funds and awareness for Triple Negative Breast Cancer research. Through our mission we hope to give back to the community Jennie lived and worked in and continue to fight in her honor to find a cure for triple negative breast cancer.
