Open letter our sponsors
On behalf of Kids at Hope Yuma, we want to extend a sincere thank you for your incredible support during our "No Exceptions" Benefit Concert featuring The Frontmen this past Valentine's Day.
Whether you joined us as a sponsor, dedicated your time as a volunteer, or came out as a member of our community to "sit under the stars" at Desert Sun Stadium, your presence made this event truly special.
Because of your generosity and hard work:
-
We enjoyed an unforgettable night of country hits from The Frontmen—Richie McDonald, Larry Stewart, and Tim Rushlow—along with local favorites Downtime and The Gwynn Sisters.
-
Proceeds from the evening directly fund training and resources for over 70 Kids at Hope schools, providing materials and support for approximately 26,000 children in our community at no cost to the schools!
-
Our new Kids Zone was a hit, offering a safe, joyful space for local families to celebrate the belief that "All children are capable of success, no exceptions."
Our mission to transform the lives of Yuma’s youth is only possible because of the caring adults like you, who show up and stand behind our children. Thank you for choosing to spend your Valentine's Day helping us build a brighter future for the next generation. Below is a recap of No Exceptions 2026. Photography by Gilbert Bedoya.
