⭐️ SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY ⭐️

The countdown is on! In just about a month, one of our favorite community events returns to the Treasure Coast, and we are so excited to be part of it!

For the THIRD year, Hope in Gray will be participating in the Festival of Giving at The Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast!

This event is truly something special. Beautifully decorated Christmas trees, holiday cheer, and local nonprofits coming together to raise awareness and funds for causes that make a difference right here in our community.

And this year, Hope in Gray will have TWO trees!

We want to give a very special THANK YOU to two wonderful businesses for stepping up to sponsor trees on our behalf!

Truly Title Florida and Palm City Eye Care

Your generosity gives us another opportunity to share our mission, spread awareness about brain cancer, and help support individuals and families facing this devastating disease. We are so grateful to have businesses in our community that believe in what we do!

The Festival is FREE to attend, and visitors will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win some incredible holiday trees and decorations while supporting local nonprofits!

And don't forget about the special events happening throughout the week, including Festival of Giving Family Night 2026 Presented by Deakins-Carroll Insurance, A Breakfast Story - Festival of Giving Networking Breakfast Presented by Sandhill Cove, and the Night Before Christmas Adult PJ & Cocktail Party Presented by Beth Svopa & Steve Svopa.

We would love for you to come out, see our trees, and support Hope in Gray!

Every tree tells a story, and we're grateful for another opportunity to share ours.

Stay tuned for sneak peeks of our trees as we get closer to opening day!

🦸‍♀️SUPERHERO SATURDAY🦸‍♀️

Six years old.
A beautiful little girl with her whole life ahead of her.
And now, facing something no child should ever have to face.

This Superhero Saturday, we are asking our Hope in Gray community to come together for a very special little girl named Camila.

At just 6 years old, Camila has been diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Her tumor is located in her brainstem, making surgical removal impossible.

Instead of simply enjoying the carefree days of childhood, Camila and her family are now facing unimaginable challenges, difficult decisions, and treatments that no parent ever wants to think about for their child.

At Hope in Gray, we know that a brain cancer diagnosis doesn't just affect the person diagnosed. It changes everything for the entire family. And when that diagnosis involves a child, it's especially heartbreaking.

Today, Camila is our superhero.
Not because she should have to be brave.
Not because she should have to fight this terrible disease. But because every child facing brain cancer deserves to be surrounded by love, hope, and a community that refuses to let their family face it alone.

We are asking our community to show up for Camila and her family. Whether it's through a donation, sharing her story, or keeping this sweet girl in your prayers, every act of kindness matters.

You can support Camila and her family here 👇

To Camila and her family, please know that you are not alone. There is an entire community standing beside you, hoping for brighter days, strength for the difficult ones, and most of all, a miracle.

Let's fill this little girl's world with as much love and HOPE as we possibly can.

Because no family should face brain cancer alone.

FUNDRAISER FRIDAY!

We need YOUR help putting together a fun raffle prize for the upcoming Craintastic Golf Tournament in November.

We're on the hunt for a few donations, and we're hoping our amazing community can help us out!

YETI COOLER
We're looking for a business or individual willing to donate a YETI cooler for our raffle.

BOTTLES OF LIQUOR
Time to clean out those liquor cabinets! Have an unopened bottle that's been sitting around collecting dust? We'd love to put it to good use! We're looking for bottles of liquor to fill our cooler and create a raffle prize everyone will want to win!

Every donation helps us raise funds to continue Hope in Gray's mission of supporting individuals and families affected by brain cancer.

Can you help?
Send us a message!
Whether you're able to donate a cooler, a bottle or two, or simply share this post, we appreciate your support!

Motivational Monday

Don’t wait for life to be perfect to enjoy it.

Take the trip.
Celebrate the little wins.
Say yes to the things that make you happy.
Spend time with the people you love.
Laugh a little louder.
Take the pictures.
Make the memories.

Life can change in an instant — and that’s exactly why the moments we have right now matter so much.

So here’s your Monday reminder...
Live while you’re living.
Love while you can.
And never stop making room for hope.

⭐️ SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY ⭐️

ConnectSphere Social Network

Hope in Gray had the honor of being ConnectSphere’s Nonprofit of the Month for October, and their support absolutely blew us away.

At their October event, this incredible group of local professionals came together and raised $950 for Hope in Gray!

ConnectSphere is about so much more than exchanging business cards. They’re creating real relationships, supporting local nonprofits, and showing what can happen when businesses come together with a purpose.

To everyone who attended, donated, shared our mission, or simply took the time to learn more about Hope in Gray — thank you. Every dollar raised helps us continue supporting individuals and families impacted by brain cancer.

And a huge thank you to ConnectSphere Social Network for choosing Hope in Gray and giving us the opportunity to share our mission with your community.

Our friends over at GBMRO always share great information. 💛🩶

Not all childhood brain tumors are the same.

A pediatric brain tumor diagnosis can look very different from one child to another. Some tumors grow quickly, while others grow more slowly. Some are cancerous, while others are not. Where the tumor is located can also affect symptoms, treatment options, and the type of care a child may need.

That’s why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each diagnosis needs careful testing, a personalized treatment plan, and research that helps doctors better understand how different childhood brain tumors behave.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re raising awareness for the kids and families facing these complex diagnoses, and for the research needed to create better options.
