A party with purpose: This year, Fostering Hope is hosting our 5th annual fundraising event, Fostering HOPS. Typically, Fostering HOPS is a block party to celebrate and bring like-minded sponsors and advocates together for an evening of relaxed fun. This year, HOPS is going virtual!  

The event will start on our Virtual Platform via “HopIn”, the first all-in-one live online events platform where attendees can learn, interact, and connect with people from anywhere in the world at 6pm.
