Dear Friend of Holding Hope,

​

I am writing on behalf of Holding Hope, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families of children with life-threatening illnesses being treated at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. Each year, we provide meaningful assistance to over 150 families through financial aid, respite getaways, gift cards to ease everyday burdens, and personalized gifts for children in the hospital.

​

As we continue our mission of offering relief and hope to families in Central Pennsylvania, the demand for our services grows. To sustain and expand our impact, we are excited to host our annual charity gala, "Night of Hope," on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the AACA Museum in Hershey. This inspiring event brings our community together to raise essential funds for the families we serve.

​

As a valued local business, you have a unique opportunity to partner with us and make a lasting difference in our community. Your support could take many forms, including:

​

• Event Sponsorships

​

• Donations of Silent Auction Items (gift cards, raffle items, or unique experiences)

​

• Live Auction Items

​

By partnering with Holding Hope, your business will not only contribute to a worthy cause but also receive meaningful recognition. Sponsors are prominently featured at the event, on our website, and across our social media channels, showcasing your dedication to helping families in need.

​

This year, we are focused on enhancing our programs to maximize the impact of every dollar raised. Our initiatives include providing financial assistance, gift cards for essential needs, Christmas gifts, and respite getaways. Looking ahead, we have a bold vision: to build a unique respite facility that offers families a therapeutic environment to rest and heal together amidst their challenges. While we work toward this dream, your support allows us to remain a critical resource for families today.

​

Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible and will directly support families facing unimaginable challenges. Together, we can bring hope and relief to those who need it most.

​

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. To explore partnership options or ask questions, visit holdinghope.org/night-of-hope-sponsorships or contact Emily at 717-712-5629 or Emily@holdinghope.org.
