For the past couple of years, a heartwarming tradition has graced the Monday of Thanksgiving week for our 1HOPE community. Thanks to the generosity of our dedicated partner, Valcor Commercial Real Estate, Urban Air at North Park opened its doors exclusively for our families. In this exclusive three-hour experience, over 100 adults and children enjoyed a morning filled with laughter, adventure, and cherished memories.

Giving Tuesday follows the post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping spree that starts with Black Friday. Most non-profits run a campaign on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving to kick off their end-of-year giving. Each year 1HOPE uses Giving Tuesday to focus on our sister organization, The New Braunfels Foster Closet.
