Helping Up Mission 2016 Graduation Banquet
We are very excited this year’s Graduation Banquet, taking place on Sunday April 24th, at Martin’s West. We are expecting 1,500 guests including a variety of community leaders… all celebrating the successes more than 125 men who have broken the grip of addiction and homelessness, and graduated from our one year Spiritual Recovery Program in the past 12 months!
Our banquet theme is “Inspiring Hope”. 500 men receiving help at HUM are on a journey of spiritual recovery and self-discovery that is inspiring hope in each life.

It’s our prayer that you know YOU inspire hope in these men – and their families – through your prayers, encouragement and faithful giving!
And when you support the banquet, as a sponsor or ticket purchaser, or with a gift to celebrate the men, you are helping us reach our $400,000 banquet fundraising goal which helps our annual campaign provide for the needs of 500 men who need us to help them break the life-threatening grip of addiction and homelessness to discover a new life.
