This August H.Y.P.E. Helping Young People Elevate is taking 35 deserving young people from our community on an unforgettable trip to Cedar Point.

For many of these kids this will not just be a day at an amusement park. It may be their first time leaving the city. Their first major summer experience. A chance to build friendships confidence and lifelong memories in a safe and positive environment.

As adults we remember the people who invested in us. Today we have the opportunity to be those people for someone else.

Your donation helps provide Cedar Point admission premium all day dining charter bus transportation H.Y.P.E. T-shirts snacks and water for the ride and safe adult chaperones.

No donation is too small.

$25 helps provide meals
$50 helps with transportation
$82 helps sponsor one youth’s admission and dining
Any amount gets us one step closer to changing a child’s summer

We empower young boys and girls to make better choices, rise above violence, and become the leaders their communities need.

Galentine’s was a SUCCESS 💕
The girls started off a little shy… but by the end, they were open, honest, and connected. We laughed, we shared, and we could have literally cried together today.

Great conversations.
Great advice.
Great listening ears.

This is what safe spaces look like. This is what H.Y.P.E. is about. 👑✨
