Join us for Focus on Hope, an inspiring luncheon to honor the shared experiences, hope, and healing found through Dougy Center's life-changing programs.
We are thrilled to welcome bestselling author Cheryl Strayed as the keynote speaker. Cheryl’s #1 New York Times bestseller, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, was made into an Oscar-nominated film. Her bestselling collection of Dear Sugar Columns, Tiny Beautiful Things, was adapted for Hulu. Cheryl’s books have sold more than five million copies around the world.
Focus on Hope will also include a panel conversation with Dougy Center participants who will share how they express their grief through art.
Learn how you can make a positive impact in the lives of children, teens, young adults, and families who are grieving.
