A Special Message of Gratitude...
Thank you ….for an unforgettable night of unity and generosity, all in the name of helping others.
On behalf of the entire Mission of Hope Alliance team, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our donors, supporters, guests and celebrities who joined us at our Saturday night fundraiser in Austin, Texas. Your presence made our event truly magical, and your support helped us raise over $115,000 and our donation goal of $30,000.00 benefiting the Genuine World Cup, a soccer tournament for athletes with intellectual or neurological differences. The first of its kind in the United States, the Genuine World Cup through the participation of teams from around the world, seeks to help these amazing athletes engage more confidently in the world of sports but more importantly, in their broader communities.
We want to give a special thanks to our celebrity guests, international singer, entertainer and actor Carlos Ponce, international TV host and actress, Karina Banda, international TV host and former Miss Universe Puerto Rico Estefania Soto and Nasa Astronaut Marcos Berrios. We were blessed and grateful for your presence. Your support and enthusiasm added to our event's success.
We are especially grateful for all of our individual donors and those who participated in our silent and live auctions. Thank you for giving from your heart. We were truly touched by your generosity. And to our Platinum Sponsors, Nork Mendez Maritime Law of Houston, The Sullivan Family from Advanced Analysis Associates of Houston, and Dillon Dalton representing Henry Cardenas, Mark Anthony and the entire team at Maestro Cares.... YOU ARE ALL SHINING STARS!
And last but not least, thank you to our photographers, videographers, venue host, event sponsors, workers, and volunteers...we know how much hard work and dedication you brought this week. It wasn't unnoticed and we couldn't have done it without you.
Individually, we are three non-profit organizations with a shared vision and commitment to serving others. Together, we are the Mission of Hope Alliance. We look forward to continuing our journey to bring hope and light to those we touch. God Bless each of you for all the love you've shown us. This is only the beginning.
