The Agents of Hope Virtual Fundraising Event’s mission is to build our third school in the Philippines, while celebrating incredible Filipinos and their amazing stories.
We’re back for our next major fundraiser, this time virtually, to build a new school in the Philippines!
We want everyone to realize their essential roles in creating and spreading hope! From our students taking the next step in embracing their creativity to individuals making donations towards building foundations of hope.
We believe that everyone can be an agent of hope for a better future, and by working together we can achieve better faster!
