Hope & Hospitality is a Project REAL’s community initiative promoting & supporting our relationship violence prevention work. Each year we team up with local hospitality hotspots to educate the community and raise funds for that work.
Our partners select items that raise $1.00 or more each time they are sold during October, and select other options for raising funds for this work as well. At the same time, their customers learn more about Project REAL and our many resources.
The funds raised by Hope & Hospitality are used to print our teen law guide Independence & You, and to send our team to give a relationship violence prevention presentation in high school seniors’ classes.
Since 2021, more than 13,000 students have received copies of Independence & You. Among them, more than 4,500 took part in relationship violence prevention experiences. Most of those experiences were booked & provided thanks to opportunities created by Hope & Hospitality.

Each October, we are excited to announce our partners for the annual Hope & Hospitality initiative, coinciding with Relationship Violence Prevention Month. This initiative is crucial, as it not only raises funds but also heightens community awareness about the resources available for those in need.
This year, facing an unprecedented workload, we recognized that we could not engage our partners with the thoroughness they deserve. Our commitment to meaningful collaboration and ensuring impactful outcomes means we never want to appear unprepared or solely focused on fundraising.
Since the launch of our first Hope & Hospitality event in August 2021, with the significant support of HUDL Brewing, we have valued deep and effective partnerships. This year, rather than compromising the quality of our engagement, HUDL Brewing graciously offered to lead the first half of our fourth annual initiative this October. This allows us the necessary time to properly reconnect and prepare with our other partners for the next phase of the event in February 2025, during Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month.
We are profoundly grateful for HUDL’s support, which ensures the continuity and integrity of Hope & Hospitality. We look forward to a renewed collaboration with all of our partners soon, as we continue to work together towards a community free of relationship violence.
Our executive committee will be visiting HUDL throughout October through a combination of individual visits and group outings.
Please drop by here soon for a list of dates when we’ll be around
