Helping Us Help Others

We are so blessed that people in our community are starting to understand what we do to help the people we serve.  Furthermore, we are blessed that those same people are willing to put their money where their mouths are, literally.

In the coming week, we will collect close to 100 sold Hog for Hope bike tickets from one concerned board member of ARC Marion who makes it his personal mission every year to help us sell out of them.  Keep in mind, that is 100 out of the 600 tickets total that we sell annually, and they only went on sale February 1! 

On Thursday, February 18, ARC Marion will host the Marion County Building Industry Association, their members and friends and the community to the 4^th Annual King of the Wing competition with partial proceeds benefiting Scholarships for Hope.  This is the second year that MCBIA has partnered with us, and we are overjoyed to have them on our campus this year supporting what we do.

Then on Saturday, February 20, RideNow Powersports will hold their Ocala Grand Opening with raffles and drawings and donation collections again to benefit the Scholarship program.  Annually Lyle and his team at RideNow has supported our Hog for Hope events as well, and now he’s giving back in an even bigger way.

We are overjoyed that these different community organizations are being community minded and are choosing us to benefit from their events and their customers’ generosity.   They are truly helping us help others, a deviation from the Golden Rule that seems as good as gold to me.
