"Jon Hardy and the Public" performance was outstanding!

*THANK YOU*to the young, dynamic Annie's Hope J Board and all who attended. Every band's performance was wonderful. Over $3600 was raised. If you missed it this year, you will not want to miss it next year.

Happy Birthday Annie's Hope!
*THANK YOU* to all the party goers who helped us celebrate ten years of serving grieving kids. We had a blast getting face painted, having hair decorated, and playing two exciting games of tug-o-war and family kickball. If you would still like to honor Annie's Hope's birthday with a financial donation or contribution of in-kind items from our wish list, please do so.
