Join the Journey Annual Fundraiser

A Shared Journey to Support Children, Strengthen Families, and Shape the Future

Watch the 2024 Join the Journey Recap Video.

On August 8th, the Giving Children Hope community gathers for an evening of connection, purpose, and unexpected moments of magic at every turn, coming together to raise critical funds and awareness to support local children and families.

Since 1993, we’ve seen how a single moment can change a life, a conversation, a mentor, an experience at just the right time. These moments may seem small, but they can become life-shaping turning points in a child's story.

This year’s fundraiser brings that truth to life. Like a magician revealing what was always there, surprises and meaningful experiences will unfold throughout the evening, reminding us that transformation often happens quietly, through presence, care, and community.

Together, we create the moments that shape the next generation’s success.
