A Soulful Evening of Purpose, Story, and Connection
Step into a night designed to open hearts and awaken compassion.
Hope in the Dark is more than a fundraiser. It is an immersive experience where guests will share a candlelit, three-course meal prepared by Celebrity Chef O'Shay Lolley (Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef Canada), accompanied by real stories from individuals whose lives have been touched by The HOPP.
A live jazz band will provide a stirring musical backdrop as guests are invited, if they choose, to dine blindfolded β creating a deeper sense of empathy for those navigating the unknown.
