Bringing Hope Home

The idea of the Great Guys Group was started by my late-wife and legendary Great Gal, Nicole Isenberg. While she was pregnant with our second child Gabrielle, Nicole was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, cancer of the lymphoid tissue.

After all of the love and support we received over the years, Nicole decided to get all of the “great guys” and gals together for a Great Guys Dinner—a night to reconnect with loved ones, thank them for their support, and raise money for local families coping with cancer. Nicole did not want to keep any of the money from the event for our own family’s benefit.

Even when Nicole was fighting her own battle with cancer she was selfless, elegant, and wanted to help others before herself.

One night during Nicole’s six year battle, a young boy knocked on our door and handed me an envelope filled with cash donations from friends, neighbors, and others in the community that wanted to help our family. That night the boy delivered more than just financial support—rather he brought hope into our home when it was desperately needed.

This is where our motto Bringing Hope Home comes from. At the Great Guys Group it is our goal to Bring Hope Home to the families we serve, and not only offer them financial support, but emotional support as well.

Nicole’s brave fight against cancer ended in August 2003. Since then, her “small idea” to get all of the great guys together has grown into a Great movement of Great people helping Great families.

Great Guys Group is a fitting tribute to someone who always put others first and is the reason why we continue to Bring Hope Home every single day.

Sincerely,

Paul Isenberg
