Events/programming (past and present) that light the fire that ignites Hopes and Dreams

LIGHTFEST –born from the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay held at Churchill Downs from 1997-2001 was a health and wellness event passing the Light of Hope during the Walk of Hope.

Dream Weavers—in the spring of 2007 local high school students dedicated themselves to inspiring Hopes and Dreams to children at a local homeless shelter.

Day of Hope—health and wellness activities provided at Haven of Hope in a family oriented atmosphere providing exposure to an experiential educational program with peers and role models where at-risk children and families can build trusting relationships reaching far beyond a Day of Hope.
