Who are we?
Akron Hope is a branch of Charleston Hope and is considered to be a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are bringing the Adopt a Classroom outreach program to the Akron community in which we will be providing Christmas presents to students in Title 1 schools.
Akron Hope consists of four executive members that are all students at The University of Akron. Akron Hope is also a registered campus organization as well!
Why Akron?
On December 23, 2014 Chad Cooke suddenly passed away. Chad's soon to be fiancé is the Founder and CEO of Charleston Hope, Emily Hoisington, and their dream was to take Adopt a Classroom nationwide.
After Chad passed, Charleston Hope wanted to make Chad's dream a reality and extend Adopt a Classroom to other cities across the country. Jen Vliet, who is also Chad's cousin expressed interest in bringing it to Akron and it was chosen! Therefore, this Christmas we will be partnering with Helen Arnold Community Learning Center and will be providing Christmas presents to their entire school!
