Last week, members of our community gathered in Naples, Florida for a special evening of reconnection and renewed purpose.
Hosted by Brian Brennan, Andy Moock, and Cici Riley, the event brought together long-time supporters — including original board members Mary Jane Breen and Kerry Dustin — some who now call Florida home but remain deeply connected to the mission of Hope Ignites. Guests enjoyed meaningful conversation, heard updates on the life-changing work happening with our Scholars, and spent time with our Executive Director discussing the bright future ahead.
The room was alive with reminiscing and storytelling. Mary Jane reflected on the early days and her role in first connecting Drive Fore Hope Honorary Chairman, Brian Brennan, to the organization. Larry Glasscock and Kerry Dustin also shared a special reunion, reconnecting after many years through a friendship that began outside of Hope Ignites.
Friends introduced friends, networks expanded, and we were reminded that the Hope Ignites mission is carried forward by people and relationships that span decades.
We are so grateful for the continued support, advocacy, and heart that fuels this mission every day.
