Celebration of Hope

Eighty years of showing up brought us here. Come celebrate the history, and help us cast the vision for the next eighty years. This is for the people who care about the next generation and want to invest in them until hope shows up.

Dinner. Live music. A live auction supporting the work. And a keynote from Christian Paige, whose poetry has reached hundreds of thousands and speaks straight to the next generation.
