MOUNTAIN LAKES — Hapgood’s Restaurant & Bar and Saddleback Real Estate Developers have joined forces to make a meaningful impact, each contributing $10,000 to support children and families facing serious illness through the Hope for Children Research Foundation.
The combined $20,000 donation reflects a shared commitment to giving back and supporting critical research, treatment advancements, and family assistance programs that benefit children in need.
The Hope for Children Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children battling serious and life-threatening illnesses. The foundation focuses on funding innovative medical research, supporting hospitals and treatment programs, and providing resources to families navigating the emotional and financial challenges that come with pediatric illness. Through its work, the organization helps bridge the gap between research and real-world care, ensuring that children have access to better treatment options and a stronger support system.
In addition to advancing research, the foundation plays an important role in raising awareness and fostering community involvement. Events and partnerships like this one help generate both funding and visibility, allowing the organization to expand its reach and continue making a difference in the lives of children and their families.
“This is a beautiful reminder that when people come together with heart and purpose, even everyday moments can lead to something extraordinary,” said Board President Michelle Oates.
