Dear Colleagues, Clients, Professionals, Parents, Athletes and Friends;


We're only weeks away from launching the Hope Bus Tour in New York City and we're excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others during this 22 city tour. While not everyone can be on the tour, people can still play a role in the success of this event.

Beginning Wednesday, we will be launching a fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $5 million in 24 hours. Over 100,000 people will have a chance to contribute to this campaign, so anything you could contribute would go along way in reaching this goal.

Tomorrow, you'll hear more bout the exciting list of International speakers and Wednesday you will receive an email regarding the fundraising campaign. I would appreciate your support my making a contribution and forwarding this message on to family, friends and respected charities.

What is the Hope Bus about?

Serve Others - Make a Difference!

Our Mission Statement:

Our mission is to initiate hope and encourage people to reach out to the community by teaching them how being of service can make a difference - regardless of race, age or social status!

Goals & Objectives

Each of the 22 cities gets opportunity to bring awareness to the community.1-3 charities will be chosen from each city to be the highlight and organizers of the event. With the help of international speakers, coaches, and authors, we are expanding individual involvement with the community, by increasing people's awareness of opportunities.

We will teach people simple ways to make a difference by reaching out and becoming service-oriented.

Our idea is based on a simple concept: We light a torch and pass the flame to the people around us, so that they can pass it on again. We will create an avalanche and a ripple effect. We will involve people actively in projects, rather than simply speak about it. We will teach them how to fish!Our mission is about "paying it forward" and finding joy, purpose and empowerment in all things. Currently, our lives are driven excessively by transactions and value exchange, instead of generosity, giving, and service. When everyone adopts a "give first" mindset, America will prosper and everyone will win.We involve local communities in the process from the beginning. Each city will host its own event and choose its own charities. By including more than one charity per city, we are creating a social network of volunteers, creating liaisons between different charities, and helping people see that with combined efforts, they can extend their reach and take on greater challenges than ever before.With the help of our professional coaches and speakers, we imbue the community with a spirit of service and giving until it becomes a way of life. We combine inspirational speaking with practical, hands-on teaching to make the concept real and tangible.Service and giving have enriched our lives and thousands of other lives. My Team and I have personally experienced this firsthand, and we are excited about sharing this with the rest of the world!

HOPE, LOVE, GRATITUDE & BLESSINGS!
