What our Families Have to Say…
“I love that the HH Symposium is a place where we can exhale. We don’t worry about the extra that we have to do for our unique family because the whole conference is perfect for our family. It is truly a place where we feel welcomed and can relax, and everyone is so great, even our family of introverts has made friends each year. Everyone goes out of their way to include us and each other, it’s wonderful. And going from 100 degrees to the gorgeous trees and hills, makes us appreciate the wonders of nature. It is really a perfect place and the programs were all excellent. Thank you so much!”

“It is unbelievable how refreshed I feel every year after leaving the Hunter’s Hope Symposium. It’s a feeling I can’t even explain, a family I am blessed to be part of. Every year the old relationships get stronger and new relationships are made. When we leave I feel like I’m leaving a bunch of brothers and sisters for a year; it is so tough. I cannot thank every person in this family enough for the welcoming and support they provide to Tenley and the rest of our family. 380 days until we meet again, but whose counting!!”
Families Helping Families
Help Us Make the Symposium Accessible for All Families
Each year, our community comes together to raise vital funds for the Symposium, ensuring that every family has the opportunity to attend and be part of this life-changing event.
Hunter’s Hope covers food and lodging for all families, and many also receive assistance with travel expenses. But to make the Symposium truly accessible, additional funds are needed, and that’s where you come in.
This year, families are not only raising funds to attend, but also competing for exciting prizes, making this a fun and rewarding way to support a great cause.
Your donation will go directly to helping these families meet their goals. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring us closer to ensuring all families can join us for this special event.
Please consider supporting one (or more) of the family fundraisers today, and help make this year’s Symposium a success for everyone!
