<div>Hello, I’m Sissi Torres, a São Toméan-American filmmaker and I'm seeking your support to preserve a vital piece of Black history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I was a film student at NYU, one of my first courses was a documentary class. I reached out to a dear family friend, Uncle Jim, and asked if I could interview him about his father’s time as a professor at Howard University.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we sat together for the interview, Uncle Jim talked about his father, but he also told me that his grandfather, John Hope, was the first Black president of Morehouse College. I quickly learned that his family tree encompassed generations of civil rights activism alongside notable figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and Martin Luther King Jr.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a humble school assignment quickly became a humbling revelation of a family legacy overflowing with historic firsts and pioneering achievements that I never learned about in history class. I knew there was so much more to research, uncover, and document, but as a student, I was overwhelmed by the scope of the Hope family’s history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After thirteen years of personal and professional growth, I finally feel equipped to tackle this incredible story. I am deeply grateful for your financial support as I embark on this journey!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About This Project</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This documentary celebrates the lives of John Hope and Lugenia Burns Hope, the first Black President and First Lady of Morehouse College, and their descendants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to provide an intimate peek into four generations of the Hope family while highlighting their historic achievements, global influence, and enduring family legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through the preservation efforts of John and Lugenia’s son, Dr. Edward S. Hope, stewardship by their grandson, James Hope, and the generosity of their great-granddaughter, Dr. Tonija Hope, we have access to family photos, footage, and archival documents, collected since the early 20th century, including correspondence with notable figures such as FDR, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Bobby Kennedy. We plan to tell this story by weaving this treasure trove of historical media with interviews of the Hope family, their friends, and relevant subject matter experts.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><strong>Why Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a time where American history, specifically Black history, is actively being erased and rewritten, we feel it is crucial to honor this family that has tirelessly fought for equality, fostered social welfare, and dedicated their lives to advocating for marginalized communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project is currently in development as we gather the information and materials necessary to pitch to production companies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before we pitch, we are raising funds to film time-sensitive events and interviews that we believe are necessary components of this story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will assist us in organizing and cataloging archival research, hiring crew, renting equipment, conducting interviews, and polishing our pitch materials.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our first goal is to film in Chicago in June!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We look forward to providing updates as this project grows.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share this fundraiser with family, friends, colleagues, and anyone committed to the preservation of Black history.

Hope Family Documentary - Development and Early Production 

<div>From Jenny and Kate,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We lost our dear brother Chuck Gregory on February 22. He had a rare form of cancer but he never gave up hope trying to get better. During four and a half years of immunotherapy and other intensive treatments he continued to look to the positive and kept fighting until the very end. His wife Akiko, his two sisters, and his brother-in-law were with him when he passed. He had celebrated his 49th birthday just six weeks prior.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors diagnosed him just months into the pandemic, forcing Chuck and his family to navigate uncertainty on multiple levels. Through it all, he held on to his unforgettable sense of humor. Chuck filled rooms with laughter anywhere he went.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He leaves behind his 10-year-old daughter Sara, his wife Akiko, two older sisters, his mother and father, and countless loving friends. The funds raised will support Sara and Akiko through this tremendously difficult time. It will help with meals, transportation, mental health support, and memorial costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, of any size, is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />

Support Chuck’s Family Through Their Tragic Loss

<div>Anyone who is lucky enough to be friends with Aubrie, Erik and Romy knows they are the sort of people that come along once in a lifetime. The best of the best. And over the last six months, they have faced unimaginable challenges in the form of a string of devastating health developments for Aubrie, who has been fighting cancer (like a total badass, as anyone who knows her would expect) along with an assortment of harrowing complications that have come with it. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now Aubrie and Erik need our help as they prepare to embark on the next phase of Aubrie's treatment, which, at a minimum, will require 24/7 care for at least a month. She may also need an alternative therapy which may or may not be covered by insurance. If not covered, it's about $500k that they will need to find somewhere. They are also going to sell Aubrie's studio at a loss, but, in Erik's words: "It's necessary triage." The mortgage is unaffordable without bookings and Aubrie won't be able to work for about 12 months at the earliest. 
</div>

<div><strong>HELP GIVE 30 AWESOME CITY KIDS THE CAMPING TRIP OF A LIFETIME!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello! Thanks for taking the time to learn about our program and lend your support!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Washington To Washington</strong> brings city kids from D.C., Detroit, and New Orleans on a week-long adventure exploring the Great Outdoors. This year we're visiting West Virginia's exquisite Appalachian Mountains with a group of 30 awesome, deserving kids: canoeing, swimming in sparkling lakes, exploring wild caves, hiking magnificent peaks, and much more. Since we're all volunteers, 100% of your donation helps to get kids out into nature for a trip they'll always remember. We've got a short time to raise the money – thanks so much for your generosity and for your help spreading the word!
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Overview</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Davy Rothbart, Denice Sanford, and Barry Sims here! Each summer for the past 12 years – with the generous help of friends like you – we put together a camping trip called Washington to Washington, where we bring kids who have grown up in the city to experience the Great Outdoors. Thank you so much for checking out the short video above, and contributing what you can to help this year's trip come to life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68251077_1663735961156051_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each year, with a group of amazing kids, we explore some of the country's most incredible wilderness areas. Along the way, these kids will hike up a mountain, walk through beautiful forests, see animals they didn't know existed, swim, canoe, and fish in pristine lakes and rivers, eat new foods, ride horses, watch the Perseid meteor shower, make S’mores and tell ghost stories around a campfire, learn camping and wilderness skills, and basically just have fun!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68251077_1663736396134615_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What have we done on previous W2W trips? We've hiked some of the tallest mountains in the Presidential Range in New Hampshire (2010); dropped by Luray Caverns and found secret swimming holes deep into the Shenandoah Valley (2011); found crawfish in the creek, tried some yoga, and hiked up Seneca Rocks in West Virginia (2012); drifted down a lazy river and explored Tracy Ridge in Allegheny National Forest (2013); completed a scavenger hunt, hit the beach, and hiked Bolar Mountain in George Washington National Forest (2014); went to a children's museum, played a pick-up game in Michigan Stadium, canoed tranquil lakes, and played in the sand around Warren Dunes in Michigan (2015); zip-lined, pet wild ponies, and trekked Mount Rogers in Virginia (2016); fished a nearby lake, rode on horseback, and hiked around Lake Sherando, Virginia (2017); spent our ride tickets at the state fair, fished a little more, competed in camp Olympics, and hiked Twin Overlook in Virginia (2018), leapt down the magnificent Sleeping Bear Dunes in Northern Michigan (2019), and crafted local adventures and helped with pandemic and hurricane relief (2020; 2021).

<div><br />
</div>
<div>For this year's trip – the 13th annual trip – we're heading to the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia's Appalachian Mountains for a week of camping, hiking, canoeing, caving, rock climbing, and much more! While we won't have to dodge bears and bulls like years past, we're looking forward to seeing deer, foxes, porcupines, and even bald eagles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68251077_1663736728386849_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The trip was inspired by our friendship with D.C. native Emmanuel Durant, Jr. After his tragic death on New Year's Eve, 2009, we teamed up with Emmanuel's family to create these annual trips as a way to introduce city kids to the magic of nature, broaden perspectives, and pay tribute to Emmanuel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year's 13th Annual Trip is also dedicated to longtime trip leaders Angel Scroggins and Duane Little, who passed away during the Covid-19 pandemic.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We Need Your Help To Make This Special Trip Happen!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have 30 wonderful, deserving kids who are excited to go on the trip this fall, but we would love to raise $30,000 by October 10th in order to make the trip happen. Thanks to some extremely generous donors, we were able to raise almost $5,000 this spring and summer to give us a head start; now, we're in the home stretch for the final $25,000. Our trips are run entirely by volunteers, so please know that 100% of your donation goes toward covering the hard costs of making the trip happen — food, gas, transportation, camping gear, etc.
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/68251077_1663736961761000_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Honestly, the biggest reward you'll receive from contributing is the knowledge that you've helped some awesome kids get out into nature — many for the first time in their lives — and have some new, life-enriching experiences. That said, we'll also be sending out photos of the trip, handmade Thank You cards, and all kinds of other special prizes to those who offer support. Be sure to share your mailing address with us to receive a Thank You package once we return from our trip! We'll also share lots of updates and photos here on this page.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Philosophy Behind Washington To Washington</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our trips have no specific agenda — we seek only to introduce kids who have rarely left D.C., Detroit and New Orleans (or even their own neighborhoods) to the joys of nature and wilderness hiking and give them a chance to experience something brand-new and have an exciting adventure. On past Washington to Washington hikes, we trip leaders have seen that look of accomplishment and inspiration that fills the kids' faces when we've reached the top of a mountain. It's amazing! We always find ways to connect the triumphs the kids experience in their wilderness adventures with the goals they aim to achieve in their own lives. It's impossible to overstate just how meaningful, impactful, transformative, joyful, and special our Washington to Washington trips seem to be to these kids.
</div>
<div><br />
