Thank you to all who attended and celebrated 18 Years of Being Better Together. It was an evening full of generosity, laughter, tears, and Hope. And what an honor to be gathered together to hear in-person for the first time from Smith Samah, Hope International graduate and PhD student.

Your presence, your warmth, your encouragement, and your beautiful gifts made it a magical night. So many of you extended your generosity through new recurring gifts or increasing your existing recurring giving. Thank you, thank you! We are deeply grateful for each and every gift in all its forms. Unfortunately, our one-time giving was lower than expected so we are $11,000 short of the needed funds to reach our fundraising goal impacting our annual budget. If you are able to share a one-time gift, we would be profoundly grateful.

More than anything, thank you for being part of this remarkable Hope community. Thank you for believing in the students, teachers, and families of Hope International School. Thank you for helping us continue this work of hope, dignity, and opportunity.

Thankful to all of our event sponsors: Rachel’s Ginger Beer, Gold Coast Kitchen, and to Red Fish Blue Fish Photography for capturing the beauty of the evening through all the images.

We are Better Together.
