Here at HSN we wanted to find a way to give back to the local community through a charity event, so months ago we began to search for ways that we knew we could support the local town.
After months of ideas, suggestions and support from the local Township, pointing us in the right direction, we began working with Dean Nelson the Hopewell High School Online Education & Technology Facilitator. In working with Dean, we found a way that HSN could support and with that we are announcing the HSN Trick or Treat for Canned Goods Event for this Halloween!!
Our mission is athlete development, township engagement and overall to give back to the community and as part of our way to deliver on that promise, Hopewell Sports Nation is excited to now be supporting the Teachers of Hopewell Area School District, Hopewell National Honors Society, and Junior National Honors Society with their Food Drive/Donation Campaign this upcoming holiday season (Full Details Below).
“Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable
ways, it can change someone else’s life forever.”
-Margaret Cho
