Imagine Hope Benefit

We are thrilled to announce that together, we raised over $1.2 million to support HopeLink’s life-changing and life-saving behavioral health, crisis, and suicide intervention services! This marks our most successful Imagine Hope Benefit yet, and we could not be more grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.
 
A special thank you to our incredible 2026 Benefit Co-Chairs, Paul and Miriam Dell’Isola and Waleed and Carmen Bississo, along with our dedicated Host Committee, for their leadership, hard work, and commitment to making this event such a success.
 
To our generous sponsors, guests, donors, volunteers, and vendors—thank you! Your support makes it possible for HopeLink to continue providing critical services to individuals and families in our community. We truly could not do this without you!
 
Event photos will be shared soon!
