ABOUT HOTEL HOPE

Hotel Hope is a nonprofit, interfaith organization that provides safe, comfortable emergency housing to single mothers and their children in a loving atmosphere while supporting their journey to self-sufficiency and self-empowerment. Serving more than 60 women and 120 children each year, we work with 20+ community partners and 200+ volunteers to eliminate homelessness and preserve the family unit.

ABOUT HOPE FEST

Join us for the Fourth Annual Hope Fest, presented by Airbnb, on Thursday, April 9, from 6:00–9:00 PM, at our exciting new venue, Audubon Clubhouse by Dickie Brennan & Co. Kick off festival season with an unforgettable evening of celebration, community, and purpose—all in support of ending family homelessness.

With Honorary Chair Councilmember Lesli Harris and 2026 Co-Chairs Jenifer Besh and Dr. Zoe Larned, Hope Fest brings together friends and supporters of Hotel Hope for a night that raises vital funds to provide shelter, stability, and support for families in need.

The evening will feature live music from two iconic, all-female ensembles—the Preservation Hall All Stars and the Original Pinettes Brass Band—and will once again be hosted by the locally and nationally beloved Bryan Batt.

Guests will have a chance to enjoy delicious food from local chefs, a selection of wine, beer, and craft cocktails, and bid on unique items in our silent auction, all while mingling with fellow advocates committed to creating lasting change.

Together, we can help build brighter futures for the families we serve. Your presence truly makes a difference—join us at Hope Fest!
