This year’s Gala was more than an event, it was a celebration of what hope in action can achieve. Together, we honored the lives being transformed across Guatemala through our three pillars Impacting Education, Health, and Home. Bringing lasting change to families and communities

From classrooms filled with opportunity, to homes made safer with smoke-free stoves and clean water, to patients whose lives have been restored through medical care — every story began with someone who chose to make a difference.

We are profoundly grateful to every guest who attended, every bidder who raised a paddle, every donor who gave, every volunteer that donated their time — you are the heart of this mission.

We’re also deeply grateful to our Silent Auction Chair, Theresa Taft, whose hard work and creativity helped curate an incredible collection of art, experiences, and treasures that inspired giving from the heart.

Congratulations to our Wings of Hope Award recipients, Dodee and Billy Crockett, extraordinary individuals whose compassion and belief in our mission lift families and communities every day.

Your kindness, dedication, and unwavering support inspire us all to dream bigger and serve with greater purpose.

You are the wings that carry Esperanza further.

To our generous sponsors, thank you for standing beside us and believing in the power of transformation. Your support fuels our work and inspires us..

Because of each one of you, countless families will breathe cleaner air, drink safe water, and access the care and opportunities they deserve.

Together, we are changing lives — one stove, one water filter, one act of hope at a time.
