Circle 1000

In 1987, Newport Beach resident and breast cancer survivor Sandy Sewell founded Circle 1000 to support the Hoag Family Cancer Institute. Her idea was to gather a group of friends who would contribute at least $1000 annually and each was tasked with asking her own circle of friends to participate.

From those simple beginnings, Circle 1000 expanded to more than 1000 friends who have raised more than $26M. The Circle 1000 committee invites community members to make an annual gift in support of cancer services at Hoag. In recognition of donors' support, Circle 1000 hosts an annual Founders' Celebration Brunch highlighted with a noted speaker.
