Business sponsorships needed to cover travel expenses for orphans coming from the Philippines for the 2007 Summer of Hope program in Boise, Idaho.

July 2007—The Summer of Hope is a unique charity event that both projects a positive image to the international community and meets the pressing needs of children. The program brings older orphans from the Philippines for a 4 week visit to the U.S. where they can meet American families who often end up adopting, mentoring or staying connected with them for life.

In the last four years 57 of these children have found permanent families through this same program in Bozeman, MT and more than 2,000 have found hope through similar national programs.

Without intervention, the older orphans in the Philippines have little hope of a normal adult life. Statistically most end up in a life of poverty and crime. Research has shown that a connected, caring relationship with an adult is the most important factor in preventing a child from leading a life of violence, and helping that child become a productive member of society.

Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

Businesses of any size are invited to help support this program. In addition to expressing goodwill from the United States and helping save children’s lives, business supporters will benefit from publicity and exposure of the summerofhope.org web site and other media channels. Summer of Hope’s current corporate supporters range from small to large businesses and include: Costco, Arbonne International, RisingLine.com, Postal Annex, Roaring Springs, Primerica, High Desert Shirt Co., Wayne Cass Photography, and M.J.’s Backhoe.
