Hope Takes Flight Gala

"Geoff and I are beyond grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside Trees of Hope to give children affected by homelessness a second chance. Their commitment to lifting up families and giving them stability while rebuilding their lives inspired us to get involved." - Kory Blum

The Rush's have been an integral part of Houston's homeless population. Hank Rush has served as President and CEO of Star of Hope Mission since 2008. Working alongside Hank, Elisabeth Rush has served on both the board of Star of Hope and Trees of Hope furthering the mission.

We are thrilled to welcome Courtney Zavala of KPRC 2 back as our Emcee for this year's "Hope Takes Flight" Gala. You can catch Courtney weekdays on Houston Life, the show which provides an hour of daily news you can use segments focused on family, fun, and fashion, featuring cooking, local and national celebrity guests, and much more!

Given the current global health crisis, with needs at Star of Hope increasing daily, your support is needed more than ever. Trees of Hope's resolve to serve and fund raise for the homeless children in our community has only strengthened during this unprecedented time. It is our sincere wish that you will join us in November as we celebrate 31 years of faithful support to the children living at Star of Hope, Houston's oldest and largest organization, assisting the homeless. Over the last three decades, Trees of Hope has donated over $10.8 million to the Children's Critical Care Fund.
