Proceeds from Hope for Kids will enable the PRC to continue offering specialized medical care to children when there is a concern for child abuse or neglect. By attending this event, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children and contribute to a safer, healthier future for our community. This year’s event will feature one of the country’s leading mentalists PHENOMENAL PHIL, who will perform his amazing magic and mind-reading show.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive through our Hope for Kids event each year. This evening is not only a chance for the community to come together, but it also positively impacts the lives of children who have experienced unimaginable trauma,” said Stephanie Johnson, executive director, of PRC.
