Annual update from Bobby

"The more we give, the more inspired we are to give again—it’s a cycle of generosity that fuels itself." – Bobby Hambrick, THF Founder.

As we reflect on 2024, we're overwhelmed with gratitude when we think about the impact we've made together. In just two years, we've awarded grants across 17 states, reaching tens of thousands of individuals in the special needs community. Last year brought so many opportunities to give, as well as moments of growth and planning.

Looking ahead, we're excited for the opportunity to provide even greater impact in 2025 promises. It's all possible because of the support we receive from people like you. Thank you for being a part of our story.
