Maryhurst Journey of Hope Luncheon 2026

Every child deserves a strong foundation. Watch the full 2026 Journey of Hope Luncheon, Maryhurst’s signature annual event bringing together community leaders, advocates, donors, and supporters to celebrate the power of healing, resilience, and hope for Kentucky children and families. This year’s theme, Building Strong Foundations, highlights the life-changing work happening every day at Maryhurst through trauma-informed residential treatment, community-based prevention programs, mental health support, foster care services, and family stabilization efforts. In this powerful program, you’ll hear: • Inspiring remarks from Maryhurst President & CEO Paula Garner • A moving story of resilience from Maryhurst alumna Taylor Kays • Keynote remarks from Laurie Schalow, Chief Corporate Affairs and Food Safety Officer at Chipotle Mexican Grill and former Maryhurst Board Chair • Stories of healing, hope, and transformation from the young people and families Maryhurst serves • The impact of community partnerships helping children and families across Kentucky For more than 180 years, Maryhurst has served children and families experiencing trauma, abuse, neglect, mental health challenges, and instability, helping build stronger futures through compassionate care and evidence-based support. In the last year alone: • Maryhurst served youth from 53 Kentucky counties through residential treatment • Supported 473 children and families through Renewal community-based programs • Reached nearly 2,000 community members through the Community Mental Health Project Because healing happens when a community chooses to care.
