Hope Hospice Foundation began Hops for Hope, a collaborative fundraiser in 2022, and by partnering with local community establishments, we witnessed great success with locals and visitors alike supporting locally owned businesses with the Hops for Hope Passport, all in turn supporting your hometown hospice.

This year, we are continuing the Gruene Guitar Singer-Songwriter Competition, presented by KNBT 92.1 FM Radio New Braunfels. In its inaugural year, Kyle Reed was selected as the Gruene Guitar Champion by a panel of professional judges. Additionally, Pete Williams won the Gruene Guitar Fundraising Champion by bringing in the most funds for the mission of Hope through his crowdfunding.

This event is a fundraiser for Hops for Hope, benefiting the mission of Hope Hospice. In 2024, thanks to the support of our incredibly generous community, we were able to provide over $1.2 million in otherwise unfunded hospice and palliative care as well as grief support to all those who needed it, when it mattered most.
