Event Details

On April 17th Pope Benedict XVI presided over a Mass celebrated calling the United States a land of opportunity and hope but decrying that the nation's promise has been left unfulfilled for some.

 As the Pope stated many don't have hope anymore particularly our youth. When the youth don't have hope, our future doesn't either.

"Americans have always been a people of hope," he said. "Your ancestors came to this country with the experience of finding new freedom and opportunity.

 Join us on Saturday, April 26, 2008 for the 2nd Annual Plant Hope in the City with youth east of the river in Washington, DC where the highest rates of poverty, illiteracy, and health disparities exist.

Each of us through our deeds have an opportunity to share our talents, creativity and be examples of hope for youth. Let's plant hope together.

This year Creative Cause received support from the State Farm Foundation and Youth Service America to host an arts-civic engagement service-learning project East of the River in partnership with the Washington Middle School for the Girls.
