Save the Date for the 19th Annual Style of Hope!
Join us on September 24, 2026, at the BOS Center for an unforgettable evening where fashion, community, and purpose come together.
As Hope’s longest-running signature event, Style of Hope celebrates the incredible individuals we serve while bringing the Springfield community together for a night of inspiration, entertainment, and the latest fashion trends. Hosted on the main floor of the BOS Center in downtown Springfield, this one-of-a-kind event showcases Hope’s mission and the life-changing impact made possible through the support of our community.
Fund a Smile
The children served at Hope have complex developmental and behavioral needs. For many of them, routine dental visits are not simple checkups. Due to sensory sensitivities, trauma histories, anxiety, or medical complexities, even basic cleanings require sedated dentistry in a specialized clinical setting.
Here’s the heartbreaking reality: While nearly all of our students rely on Medicaid, Medicaid does not cover the cost of sedation dentistry. And when dental care is delayed or avoided, small cavities become infections. Pain becomes chronic. Eating becomes difficult. Behavior escalates. Learning suffers.
The Smiles of Hope Dental Fund exists to change that.
A gift of:
$50 – Provides comfort supplies and preventive care tools for one student
$100 – Covers evaluations, x-rays, and preparation appointments
$250 – Funds anesthesia support and monitoring equipment
$500 – Covers a significant portion of sedation costs
$750 – Sponsors the sedation component of one restorative procedure
$1,000 – Fully funds essential dental treatment under sedation, relieving pain and restoring a child’s ability to eat, sleep, and learn comfortably

Last Year’s Fund the Need: Technology That Transforms Lives
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, last year’s Fund the Need helped Hope invest in innovative technology that enhances learning, therapy, and independence for the individuals we serve. From virtual reality tools that support social skills and real-world practice to advanced screening technology that improves early autism identification, these resources are creating new opportunities for growth and success.
Your support is helping Hope build a future where every individual has access to the tools they need to learn, thrive, and reach their full potential.
