On April 28, from 8am to 2pm, Raising Hope will be presenting its 6^th annual HOPE4Kids Festival and Run at Lake Sherwood, located at 2300 Norfield Ct. in Thousand Oaks.

Help us find permanent connections for children waiting in foster care!

This event is full of shopping, food trucks, a free Kidzone, foster gallery and more, all benefiting foster children of Ventura County.

Festivalgoers have the option to sign up to run or walk a 5k, 10k or Kids Mile Fun Run, as well as sign up to volunteer or donate at www.raisinghope.org

RaisingHOPE provides advocacy, awareness and funds to abused and neglected children, many of whom are or were in the foster care system, in the Ventura County area through community events, mentoring and legal services.

Proceeds from HOPE4kids provide funding for foster children for tutoring, orthodontia, extracurricular activities, textbooks for college and more.
