Helping Hand of Hope Executive Director Hope Burke said for the organization’s 55th anniversary, the staff and the board wanted to step up their game in celebrating more than half a century of helping neighbors in need.
Burke and Helping Hand of Hope Board Chair Chris Kiger joined the Quicksie Morning Show Tuesday morning to announce the anniversary celebration “Faith, Family, Community, and Camo”, which will feature some special guests.
“So I was like ‘Well, this could work. Let me reach out to some friends that I know,’” Burke said. “And so we are happy to announce that Jase and Missy Robertson from Duck Dynasty are going to be our keynote speakers.”
Burke said more guests can be expected for the event, which will be held August 14 and 15.
“Sponsors will be invited to the Friday night event where they will get to hear Missy’s story and get to meet Jase and Missy,” Burke said. “They’ll get to have a fun camo-type dinner, some fun things at the House on Helm, and then on Saturday people that just purchased the tickets for Saturday will get to come and hear Jase’s story and just how amazing his life is with faith, family, and community because, a lot of people know with A&E’s Duck Dynasty, they have had their own trials and different things.”
Proceeds from the event will support Helping Hand of Hope’s mission to offer neighbors “the opportunity to alleviate personal and financial hardships by providing services that foster self-worth and human dignity.”
“This is just a really good chance to come back and support your neighbors in need because all of this money goes back into our services,” Burke said. “It doesn’t go into payroll. It doesn’t go into any of that. It’s all for the care that goes back to our neighbors.”
Tickets are on sale now and sponsorship opportunities are available. Visit www.helpinghandofhope.org or the Helping Hand of Hope Facebook page to find the ticket link.
