Happy Hour for Hope + Fall Festival: Event Recap
We’re thrilled to share the success of our recent Happy Hour for Hope, which has seen tremendous growth over the past three years. To put things in perspective, our first Happy Hour event had 50 attendees and raised $10,000. Last year, we grew to 75 attendees and netted $25,000. This year, with more than 120 attendees, we’re proud to be continuing our growth, raising nearly $60,000. The energy was contagious and our guest speaker, Anoela Martin— a former client of Missouri Girls Town— delivered an inspiring speech about the life-changing support she received through our programs. Her story is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact we have on the lives of young girls, helping not only them, but positively influencing future generations as well.
