We want to share a wave of gratitude for all who supported the 5th Annual Hands4Hope Endless Summer Beach Party! Thank you to all who joined us for a fun-filled evening of music, laughter, bidding, and beachy vibes, all in support of Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference.
More than 200 guests ate, danced, and celebrated the accomplishments of Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference at this event, which is the largest fundraiser of the year for Hands4Hope. Altogether, the fundraiser raised $211,000 to provide for life-changing programs that build skills and confidence for youth while helping fill unmet needs for our community.
At the heart of the evening was a special presentation by Jeanne Shuman, Executive Director, Jake’s Journey Home; and Tania Thomas, Hands4Hope Youth Community Engagement Ambassador. Both spoke from their hearts about their involvement with Hands4Hope. It’s worth a watch! Check out our video below.
