Upcoming Events!

 

Join Family Hope Foundation for a Night of Family Fun!

Family Hope Foundation is partnering with the Mary Free Bed YMCA to offer a night of family fun. The event will be held on Friday, September 27, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM, and will be FREE to the first 100 people who sign up.

 

The entire building is designed for individuals with special needs, with so many adaptations, thoughtful designs, and accessible equipment. Guests will be able to swim, climb the rock wall, walk the track, play basketball, and explore this beautiful, family-centered facility at your family’s pace.  

 

At the entrance of the YMCA is a beautiful wood sculpture called ONE. A portion of the description of this sculpture reads: “One expresses the unity we strive for in our global culture by recognizing how diversity adds a beautiful fullness to the human experience.” Family Hope Foundation could not agree more!

You must RSVP to attend, with maximum attendance being 100 people – maximum sign up is five tickets per order. The Eventbrite sign up link will become active on Friday, September 6, at 7:00 PM. We look forward to spending time together!

Testimonials

Grace-Kolenda-wetb.jpg

 

Can you imagine the joy we felt when we received news that we were receiving a scholarship from Family Hope Foundation to help pay for Grace's Occupational Therapy at The Center for Childhood Development? Steven and I still get emotional talking about this today. Family Hope Foundation understands the emotional and financial strain that comes with helping a child with special needs.

The scholarship was the difference between our daughter continuing to develop her skills or experiencing setbacks during her fundamental years. Thank you for believing in Grace and making this dream a reality for so many families.
