On Friday, May 20th, students age 2-12 will run laps to raise money for the needy children in the Philippines. Students at this early stage, some of them pre-schoolers, are made aware about how other people in other countries live, the importance of giving to those less fortunate and learn at an early age that each of them can make a difference. Thank you to Stacey Constantian, President of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) for choosing OHFH as benefiting partner of this charity event in Orange County.

NOTE: Charities including One Heart for Hope are finding it more difficult to effectively raise money due to health concerns, regulations and mandates that make it unsafe to host in-person fundraising events like dinner galas and gatherings. We have suspended all fundraising events since 2019. We have revised our donation strategies during the pandemic by sending donors solicitation letters for us to support our scholarship, education, emergency disaster relief, and necessities projects. We thank you for your continued support during this time of financial uncertainties.
