• Hope on the Run

    Hope on the Run brings our community together in a burst of color, energy, and purpose as we raise support for Rivers of Hope and the families we serve. By joining us as a sponsor or participant, you’re not just taking part in a vibrant color run—you’re helping create safety, healing, and hope for those impacted by domestic violence. Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship pledged fuels critical programs that change lives right here at home. Together, we can make every step count. Community Connection  Hope in a Hopeless World is getting out into the community and making connections! Through our Community Connection events, we partner with local non-profits and organizations at resource fairs, fundraisers, and other community gatherings. We’re excited to meet our neighbors, support fellow non-profits, share resources, and be part of the incredible work happening in our community. Whether we’re cheering on participants, lending a helping hand, sharing information, or simply showing up to support a great cause, we believe community is stronger when we come together. Follow along to see where we’ll be connecting next!
