Recognition
What is the H.O.P.E. Award?
H.O.P.E. Award/Honorees for Lifetime Achievement
Since 2014, The Hope Foundation has recognized individuals with the H.O.P.E. Award for Lifetime Achievement, which honors individuals who are Honorable, Outstanding, Philanthropic, and Excellent. The first recipient of this prestigious award was Henry Nemenz, who spent many years donating his time, money, and resources to children in the Valley.
Over the years, we have received numerous nominations for this award, and as a result of the number of deserving nominees, have expanded the award. We now present the award to a group of honorees, as well as one overall award recipient. We hope that, through this, we can recognize the nominees who so greatly deserve this recognition.
