Hopestock: The Great Big Gig, (The Washington School Trip Fundraiser)

Hope Academy is sending its Grade 9-12 to Washington on the School trip of a lifetime. Whilst we have the ability to dream big at Hope Academy not all of us have the funds. To address this problem we are reaching out to the community for help. The community has answered and as a result we are putting on what promises to be nothing short of an epic musical festival.This event takes place 6-12 pm at Beaches Grand Harbour Sat Mar 15th. All the bands entertainers, DJs and gymnasts are playing for free. So that we can raise funds to help make this Washington trip available to those who may otherwise miss such an amazing opportunity.

A massive Thank you to the Bands, Beaches, Z99, C3, Papermans, 1345, AL Thompsons, Deans the cleaners and all our other sponsors who are helping to make this fund raiser possible and above all to the community of Grand Cayman. Please come down and help us to create a night that will be spoken of, for all the right reason, for many years to come!

This will be a ticketed event. Tickets will be available from Z99 Radio, Hope Academy and Beaches Sports Bar. Tickets will be priced at $20 and they include a free beer/ soft drink and entry to the raffle..

Please help me spread the word on this one! I’m gonna take 37 kids on a once in a lifetime trip to Washington D C. The issue is times are tough and not everyone can afford it so we need a little short of $10,000. So this is the way that we will raise the funds for the kids. Please help by forwarding this story by email to everyone on Island that might want to be part of history!

Come and share local and localish talent as we bring the community together to help our young ones achieve their goals!

Come to Hopestock!
