Days
An elegant evening of wine, celebration, and philanthropy — benefiting seriously ill children and their families across the Mahoning Valley.
Every spring, the Hope Foundation gathers the Mahoning Valley for one unforgettable night — wine tastings, a curated dinner, live and silent auctions, and the presentation of the H.O.P.E. Lifetime Achievement Award.
2027 marks our 15th gala and the foundation’s 20th anniversary. Every dollar raised funds financial assistance and DreamCatcher experiences for chronically and terminally ill children across our community.
