An adoptive mother, Catherine Behrendt (center) was the first television host to air Grant Me Hope's videos of foster children who hope for adoption. She continues to go to bat for Grant Me Hope at WZZM helping us get the word out about our events. Catherine has also graciously emceed every Celebrating Hope! This is her eighth year helping us make this event a great success. She is pictured with GMH Vice President Barb Aalderink (left} and Nancy DeBoer, Holland's representative to the Michigan House of Representatives. 

Please, feel free to come as you are. We don't want you to stress about what to wear - the point of Celebrating Hope is giving hope to foster youth for their future.
