Hearts for Hope, taking place on March 1, 2025, is a fundraising gala, benefitting Families Forward Charlotte, a 501(c)3 non-profit committed to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty that makes upward mobility too difficult for too many families in our community. The evening will include live entertainment from Split Second Sound, drinks, dinner, a live and silent auction, and a special program featuring Families Forward Charlotte leaders and a program participant.

Currently, there are 45,000 children in Charlotte living in families experiencing poverty. This annual fundraiser is one of the ways that Families Forward Charlotte raises money to combat generational poverty by providing individualized mentoring, educational opportunities, and essential support.
