2nd Annual

Stand In For HOPE Fundraising Event

Today, across the globe, an estimated 50 million people are living in modern day slavery—men, women, and children who've been forced, coerced, or tricked into sex trafficking, labor trafficking, or some other form of human trafficking.

It not only happens in other countries but also in the United States—AND here in Northwest Arkansas. As a sponsor of Hub of HOPE's "Stand In For HOPE” fundraising event, YOU make it possible for survivors to get practical help with things like safe shelter, food, clothing, education, life skills, support groups and so much more!

On Thursday, April 30th, 2026, guests will gather at The Barn at The Springs in Springdale to support victims of human trafficking. This banquet-style event will include a photography exhibit featuring women from our community who will “stand in” to protect the identities of victims as they share their brave stories of survival.

Your sponsorship at this event will help keep the doors of Hub of HOPE open in 2026 to victims in their time of crisis. Thank you for believing with us that HOPE is possible!

Sincerely,
Jenny Sorey
Founder & Executive Director, Hub of HOPE
