Marias Field of Hope in Avon


Visit the Field

Maria’s Sunflower Field of Hope in Avon is planned to bloom sometime in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We are planting in a transitional field location until our permanent field is ready. We recommend staying tuned in to our social media and website for any updates to this information. To volunteer at Maria's shop, click here.

There is no fee to visit the fields, but we do accept donations as they help us bring more targeted, life-saving treatments to children battling deadly brain tumors. Every dollar you donate brings us one step closer to a cure.
