LEADERSHIP ROSEVILLE RAISES OVER $8,000 FOR ALL ABOUT HOPE

It was a great night of community, fundraising, and food as Leadership Roseville invited the public to support All About Hope at The Monk’s Cellar on Wednesday, February 8! The 2023 class of Leadership Roseville, a program through Roseville Chamber of Commerce that is designed to educate and develop community leaders, has partnered with local nonprofit All About Hope this year to support hospitalized children with a box of art supplies and crafts during the toughest times of their lives.

All About Hope delivers beautifully designed customized boxes full of activity books, Crayola crayons, paints and markers, craft project supplies and instructions, and custom notebooks to children dealing with terminal illness, RSV, Covid-19, broken bones, and more.

To date, Leadership Roseville has raised $8,122 for All About Hope, or about 325 boxes of hope, surpassing their original goal of fulfilling 300 boxes. After seeing the community response, the class has raised their goal to deliver $10,000 to All About Hope by the end of May 2023. If you missed the Monk’s Cellar event, Leadership Roseville invites you to join us for our next event on May 1 at Roller King for a fun night of skating and service.

After her own daughter's extended hospitalization at Sutter Children’s Hospital, All About Hope founder Cindy Costa wanted to help the other families she saw experiencing heartache, disappointment, and stress. Together with a growing group of volunteers, Cindy spent the next decade serving children and families in the NICU and pediatric departments, providing home cooked meals and comfort items. In 2016, Cindy spurred a new vision as she saw firsthand how art brought hope, healing, and restoration to children facing serious illness. Soon after, All About Hope was born.

“This is the first year the Leadership Roseville class was able to choose the project we worked on and as soon as we heard Cindy’s story our whole class was onboard to support these children throughout our community. We’re looking forward to our next event at Roller King so those in attendance can see firsthand what fills these boxes of hope, meet Cindy, and hear more about the organization we’ve chosen to support,” says Lauren Razzano, member of Leadership Roseville class of 2023.

The Roller King event is a one night fundraiser and ‘packing party’ to raise funds and pack the Hope Boxes that will be delivered to Kaiser Roseville Hospital and Sutter Roseville Medical Center. If you are unable to join that night, please consider making a donation online or learning more about this project at www.LeadershipRoseville2023.org.
