What is Cricket's Hope? We serve local children who have suffered from a mixture of child abuse, domestic violence, neglect or other trauma. Through demonstrating love and consistently showing support, we build meaningful relations and foster HOPE and resilience in our kids.

Cricket's Hope Art Restore Kids (ARK) program provides children with a safe place to share their feelings and we promote healing through restorative groups. Our weekly ARK art workshop classes serve over 85 students per week both at schools and at Cricket's House.

Artwork from our ARK classes will be featured at this fundraiser and event as an exhibit in two beautiful homes in Del Rio's River Nine. A third home will host a Sponsor Welcome event for $1,000 and up sponsors at the Home of Dale Boyett in River Nine. This is our 11th Art Restores Kids Exhibit and we are very excited about this 11th year! We have come a long way.

For more information about becoming an event sponsor please contact Cindy Schneider at (209) 312-9991.

We believe where there is love there is hope.
