The People Behind the Trust

Cabinet Secretary, Operations & Outreach

Runs day-to-day operations, community outreach and our hunger-relief and disability-support drives across all 18 centers.

We started Circle of Hope believing that a bat and ball, a textbook and a meal shouldn't depend on where a child is born. Every center we open is a promise kept to that idea.
