Our signature event - the Hope Fall Family Festival for Grieving Families

and many more events we offer through our partners.  With over 25+ events to choose from each year, we aim to find something for everyone to enjoy

We sure have come a long way from our humble beginnings in 2013 with just 25 people in attendance at the HOPE FAMILY FUN FESTIVAL!

 Our goal is to continue hosting the Hope Family Fun Festival for free, and adding 
events throughout the year.   We would love to hear from you and welcome your suggestions and feedback both on the
festival and/or future events.   

​Thank you for your support and for sharing in our mission of connecting families who have a lost a loved one.  
​Please be sure to connect with us on social media so we can have an even greater reach and impact on those in our community.
