We're proud of our community!
On August 26th, we gathered to play golf, connect with dedicated Common Hope supporters, and create meaningful change.
Arriving early at Minneapolis Golf Club, we knew the extreme heat and humidity would double the challenge of the HopeMasters Tournament. Yet, the heat was no match for our determined golfers. Together, they rose to the occasion and raised $112,000 for essential programs for Common Hope students and families.
The HopeMasters Tournament plays a crucial role in driving change in Guatemala. We use our tournament to highlight the important work of our Housing Program, one of our four core programs used to affect change for Common Hope students. With the funds raised at our tournament, our Housing Team can provide families with a safe place to sleep, students with a space to study, proper ventilation for cooking, and access to safe drinking water. Dignified housing lays the foundation that enables families to prioritize education, stay healthy, and grow.
The López family received their new home this year. Despite the challenges of not having a secure place to live and study, they persevered. Now, with their new home, the mother shares, “I’m very proud of our home. The family dynamic has changed for the better because we have adequate space and privacy. We like to decorate our home with plants and think that the plants are happier here too.”
How does a game of golf drive change?
These happy moments are made possible through your support. A community of golfers can be motivated and inspired to give to Common Hope. With this support, our social workers can effectively see the needs of the community in Guatemala. With the funds raised at our tournament, our housing team is able to address the needs of the community changing the lives of students with a safe place to study and grow with their families.
We are deeply thankful for Common Hope supporters and your constant efforts to ensure a better future through education for students and families in Guatemala. Your efforts provide the foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
We can’t wait for next year’s HopeMasters and hope to see you there to have another hole-in-one event.
