Be Part Of The Action

Hope Rising Together (formerly Let Them LOL) annually hosts a community-proud Running Buffalo 5K run/1 mile walk, a classy and moving Water Gala, and an inspiring joy-filled Kid’s Gala. These events are a great way to get involved whether attending or volunteering (we even gather a secretly incredible team of young adult ‘water ninjas’ for our water gala).
