We’re still riding high on the magic of Raising Hope on June 25th, and it’s all because of YOU!
The night was absolutely amazing! From the arrival of our first guest to the heartfelt applause at the end, each moment reminded us why this work is so important.
Guests mingled, sipped, and enjoyed delicious appetizers while checking out the silent auction table before the program kicked off.
This year, we were so lucky to hear from Mystel and Lilah, whose brilliance, courage, and heartfelt story truly made the evening unforgettable.
Together, we raised an amazing $153,000 for grief support programs! We are genuinely in awe of your generosity and dedication to Good Grief of Northwest Ohio.
Your support is what keeps us going—it's behind everything we do, from our school-based groups to our in-house programs. You're helping create moments of connection that can really change a young person's life!
