The story
Hope for Learning, a Central Virginia nonprofit, is hosting its fourth annual golf fundraiser Monday at Brandermill Country Club in Midlothian. The tournament begins at 10 a.m. and aims to raise funds for families across Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield counties who are facing food insecurity and academic barriers.
Proceeds from the event support two key initiatives: Resource 180 and From Hunger to Hope, which provide food, school supplies, clothing, and hygiene products to Title 1 elementary students. The organization also directs portions of fundraising proceeds toward families experiencing crisis situations, including emergency housing assistance.
According to Executive Director Chuck Caple, Hope for Learning's approach extends beyond material support. "It doesn't necessarily have to be always food or clothing or basic needs, but emotional support, social support," Caple said, reflecting the organization's holistic mission to help students reach their full potential.
Hope for Learning was founded in March 2020 with a focus on improving literacy rates at Title 1 schools. The organization regularly serves between 500 and 1,000 students and families, while providing direct support to approximately 30 families. Registration for the golf tournament is available in person or online at hopeforlearning.org/golf-tournament.
