ANOTHER
OUTSTANDING MONTANA NONPROFIT.
M O N TA N A H O P E P R O J E C T
e mission of the Montana
Hope Project is to fulfill the
dreams and wishes of Montana
children between the ages of 2
and 18 years who suffer from a
terminal, critical, or chronic illness.
Because the Montana Hope Proj-
ect is run entirely by volunteers,
83% of funds raised go directly to
serving our Children of Hope.
Children's most popular wish is
a trip to Disney World with a stay
at Give Kids the World Village;
Hawaiian vacations come in at a close second.
We have granted a variety of wishes: lavish
trips, professional sporting events, vehicle and
bedroom restorations, outdoor play equipment,
and much more. ese wishes are fueled by the
kids' imagination. e sky is the limit.
e Montana Hope Project offers two
reunions every year for all Children of Hope
and their families to attend. e first weekend
in June we gather at the beautiful Izaak Wal-
ton Inn for a relaxing getaway near Glacier
National Park. e first weekend in December,
wish families join us at the luxurious Fairmont
Hot Springs Resort for a festive weekend full
of fun. Our coordinators and volunteers always
go the extra mile to see our Children of Hope
smile. ese reunions provide families an
amazing support system and the opportunity
to connect with one another year after year,
long after their wish has been granted. e
memories made during these weekends are
cherished by all wish families, coordinators,
and volunteers in attendance.

started as a way for Troopers to serve their communities in a special and unique way has grown
