Waves of Hope
Rose Parade 2017 in Pasadena, California
From The Mercury News: "Northwestern Mutual – “Waves of Hope”: In this playful animated entry, a day at the beach represents more than just catching a wave. Northwestern Mutual Foundation’s Childhood Cancer Program started a wave of giving in 2012, with the help of the company’s employees and financial representatives nationwide, by raising millions of dollars to fund childhood cancer research and family support. Through a partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, the program’s wave helped support the research of Dr. Yael Mossé from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Mossé developed a breakthrough treatment for neuroblastoma which eventually helped Edie Gilger and her family, who are riding on the float. Edie was six months when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, and is now 7 and in remission. The wave of giving continues with Steve Guinan, a Northwestern Mutual managing partner from Philadelphia, and cancer survivor, whose office recently directed $100,000 through the Northwestern Mutual Foundation to Dr. Mossé to continue her work to find cures for more children."
