WHAT IS HARVEST OF HOPE?
Harvest of Hope is a special afternoon where the Game Plan 4 Hope community comes together—recipient families, donors, volunteers, partners, friends, and people who are discovering our mission for the first time.
It is a time to connect, celebrate, and share what happens when families navigating life-changing injury or advanced or terminal illness don't have to walk alone.
At Harvest of Hope, you'll hear more about the work of Game Plan 4 Hope, meet families who have experienced our support firsthand, and connect with the people who make this mission possible.
Most of all, it's an opportunity to see the heart behind the mission: people walking alongside people, bringing practical help, encouragement, prayer, and hope when it is needed most.
THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE
Harvest of Hope isn't simply a presentation about an organization. It's a gathering of people whose lives are connected by hope.
Our recipient families are at the heart of this afternoon. You'll have the opportunity to meet some of the families Game Plan 4 Hope has walked alongside, hear about their experiences, and learn what hope has looked like in their journey.
You'll also have time to connect with other recipient families, supporters, volunteers, and friends of GP4H. For many of our families, simply meeting others who understand the road they've walked can be a meaningful source of encouragement.
BRING SOMEONE TO THE TABLE
Do you know someone who should know about Game Plan 4 Hope? Bring them to Harvest of Hope.
This year, we're inviting friends of Game Plan 4 Hope to become Table Hosts. A Table Host simply invites people they know—friends, family members, coworkers, church friends, business connections, or others who may want to learn more about our mission—to join them at Harvest of Hope.
There is no cost to host a table and no fundraising requirement. The goal is simply to introduce more people to the families we serve and the work of Game Plan 4 Hope.
A table seats approximately eight people, including the host. You don't need to have all eight guests lined up before you decide to host. We'll help you along the way.

WATCH LAST YEAR'S HARVEST OF HOPE
Last year's Harvest of Hope brought families, supporters, and friends together to celebrate hope and hear firsthand what it means to walk alongside a family through a life-changing season.
“The idea of starting a foundation stemmed from all the generosity we received while experiencing the life-changing event of Trenton’s injury. We had collected a couple of storage units of durable medical equipment and wanted to ‘pay it forward’ because we didn’t need all the donated equipment. We also wanted to help others navigate through the unknown waters of catastrophic events that occur in people’s lives. Events that turn someone’s life upside down and leave them feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Our goal is to walk alongside families and help alleviate some of the anxiety they are experiencing, hopefully creating an avenue of resources and lifelong relationships.”
