John Legend is a 6-time Grammy Award winner and was recently recognized as one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People of 2009.” Legend will speak about his philanthropic work and inspire the audience with his music at the event.

Whether it be a veteran who doesn’t feel worthy of his benefits after losing a comrade in a war, a father who is ashamed that he lost his job due to the economy, or a mother who worries where her child’s next meal will come from, Hopelink can help.

Private and public donations have kept Hopelink functioning since 1971, and for the last 15 years one of those ways to donate have been in the form of the Reaching Out Benefit Luncheon. A minimum donation of $150 per person for the event is suggested. All of the proceeds will benefit Hopelink programs. Find out how you can get involved on the Hopelink Website.
