Families are deeply involved as well, receiving weekly counseling and skill‑building sessions designed to restore the family unit. We rely on the generosity of our community to help us continue providing hope, healing, and restoration to girls and families. About the 100‑4‑HOPE Campaign The 100‑4‑HOPE Campaign invites supporters to pledge $100 four times a year, creating an ongoing scholarship fund that helps cover operational costs, expands staffing, and ensures that families facing financial hardship never lose access to the help they need.

By participating in this 5K, you are helping launch a long‑term movement of hope and healing. Every step you take directly supports the girls in our program, strengthens families, and helps build a sustainable scholarship fund that will impact lives for years to come.
