THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Love Fosters Hope will hold its second annual gala themed “Dream a Little Dream” on Saturday, October 11 at 6 p.m. at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott located at 1601 Lake Robbins Drive in The Woodlands, Texas.

Love Fosters Hope is a non-profit 501©3 organization that brings hope, healing and a bright future to children and teens in foster care who have been abused, abandoned and neglected, primarily in Montgomery County.

The goal of Love Fosters Hope is for every child to grasp that they are significant, valued, worthy, and loved.

Proceeds from the fundraising gala will benefit the following Love Fosters Hope programs:


Summer Camps: For up to 145 children and teens in foster care ages 7 to 19 years old each year.
