Join us as we spread HOPE in our community!
In 2015, the artisans and craftsmen of Viocity Group created metal butterflies that quickly became recognized as a symbol of peace and hope. As the popularity of these butterflies grew, we began to see their larger purpose and started to dream about what that might be. In 2017, our dreams began to materialize with the creation of Hope in the Air. We've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of the programs we've championed, and we're determined to see them thrive well into the future. The goal of Hope in the Air is to find causes that have a direct impact on people in our community by sharing hope. This year, Hope in the Air is dedicated to supporting three impactful programs, with the ambitious goal of raising in excess of $150,000 to make a difference. This year’s recipients will be an emerging Facility Dog Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), as well as the continued support for the Hope in the Air Endowment Funds for Hospice & Community Care's Sunflower Pediatric Program and the Facility Dog Program at Penn State Health Children's Hospital. We sincerely appreciate your consideration, whether through a donation, attending, or sponsoring our event, your support is essential to the success and longevity of these critical initiatives.
