The Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. Our mission is the furtherance of charitable and financial support and volunteer services to and for chronically and/or terminally ill children on a local and regional level.

The Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley is dedicated to the education, research, and charitable centers across the Mahoning Valley providing grants and other services to terminally ill children, and aim to support local charities who share in our common goal. In the last six years, we have donated money to organizations that support our mission and goals, such as Silver Lining Cancer Fund, Potential Development Program, Inc, Project Linus, Easter Seals, & Youngstown Hearing and Speech, just to name a few.

The Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley was founded in 2007 to continue the tradition established by "The Game of Hope Charity Classic" that began back in 2005. In addition to taking over this event, the HFMV will host other events that will raise funds for chronically/terminally ill children 365 days a year. Furthermore, to support our events, you can donate anytime during the calendar year by going to our website.

Over the years, the Game of Hope Classic has turned into one of the fastest growing charity events in the Mahoning Valley. The Game of Hope committee has done a great job in promoting and showing that the Mahoning Valley does care about its chronically/terminally children in many different ways.

Since 2005, the Game of Hope and the foundation have raised nearly $60,000 to charities, courtesy of the charity basketball game ("The Game of Hope Charity Classic,") flag football and softball charity events. The HFMV now hopes to continue the tradition in future events across the valley.

IT IS ALL FOR THE KIDS!
