 Greetings! Each and every one of you contribute to HopeKids' mission in a unique way. You have a story behind what led you to give, volunteer or become a partner in providing hope. When you share that story with your community, you multiply ours. We are so grateful for all the ways you help us provide hope, and for the others you've invited to join you in being generous of time, talents and treasures.

| Greetings! September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and while HopeKids encompasses children with any life-threatening medical condition, many of them are battling cancer. Take a minute to look at the fall HopeNotes magazine which features Daleyza, a 4-year-old leukemia warrior, who is conquering her treatment with hope for the future. The magazine also highlights how your support provides free events that focus on five research-driven impact areas. As we continue to offer virtual events and slowly transition back into offering small and safe in-person events, we’re thankful for your continued generosity. Many of you have participated in fundraising events, hosted virtual events for families, and given graciously. Your overwhelming support fills us with hope! With Hope, Brian Anderson, Executive Director HopeKids Minnesota |  |
| Greetings! It didn’t take long for us to learn the benefits, beyond COVID-19, in always providing virtual programming. Many of our families experience isolation during the cold and flu season, or are confined to hospital beds for weeks or even months at a time. We’re improving as an organization by supporting families, regardless of their location, and connecting families across HopeKids chapters. Take a minute to look at the summer HopeNotes magazine to read about our virtual programming and a new national partnership with Let's Roam that has resulted. Over the last three months, your support has provided more than 180 virtual events across chapters. These virtual events are invaluable to our families who are craving connection and hope. In this challenging time, we need the support of friends like you now more than ever. If you're interested in hosting an event, please let me know or you can donate here. Thank you for believing that hope (even virtually) is a powerful medicine! With Hope, Brian Anderson, Executive Director HopeKids Minnesota P.S. Registration is open for the Coleberry Golf Tournament on August 3, 2020. Sign-up and info at www.hopekids.org/coleberry. |  |
Hanna, Anders and Henrik at the Minnetonka Squadron event on Big Island in June.
"With constant streams of bills, my husband and I have found it difficult and frivolous to spend money on outings for the five of us. Even going to a movie would be more than we would want to spend. We also are concerned with germs and crowds. Most [HopeKids] events have sanitary precautions in place to keep all of our kiddos safe. It is so nice to meet other families who, although do not share the same medical condition, share a common understanding and certainly respect." -Melinda, Hanna’s mom
For families who have a child with a life-threatening medical condition, simply leaving the house can be a challange for a number of reasons. Aside from financial concerns, immunocompromised children have to take extra precautions to ensure they avoid illnesses which can delay vital treatments or worsen their condition. Many HopeKids events are private to provide a safer environment for families, like Hanna's.
Your support alleviates some of the challenges that these families face. Thank you for providing a safe environment through an ongoing calendar of free events!

Brian Anderson, Executive Director

Greetings!
You may not realize the incredible impact you have on families, like Jonathan's, who found a supportive community among other families who have a child with a life-threatening medical condition. Take a minute to look at the Summer HopeNotes Magazine which highlights families who discovered hope and community through HopeKids.
Your support provides much more than a calendar of free events. It also helps families connect and refocus on the future. Thank you for believing in and furthering our mission!
