Embracing Hope: Anchored in Connection

Help Us Bring Embracing Hope 2026 to Life

The Arizona Peer and Family Career Academy is preparing for the 4th Annual Embracing Hope Conference: Anchored in Connection, a full-day gathering focused on learning, connection, culture, and the strength of lived experience.

This year, we’re raising funds through our Embracing Hope 2026 T-Shirt Fundraiser, and every shirt purchased helps us bring this conference to life.

$25 Shirt Donation

Shirts are $25 each and available while supplies last.

Your $25 donation helps cover the cost of producing the official Embracing Hope 2026 shirts while helping us build visibility and support for a conference centered on lived experience, connection, culture, and community.

Once your donation is received, we’ll contact you to get your shirt size(s) and coordinate drop-off or shipping.

Want to Give a Little More?

You can! Additional donations are deeply appreciated and help us extend the impact of Embracing Hope beyond the conference itself.

You can also choose to donate your shirt back to the Academy. We’ll collect donated shirts and use them as gifts throughout our communities, helping spread the message of Anchored in Connection to people who may not have had the opportunity to attend the conference.

Your purchase can do more than put a shirt on your back. It can help put the message of hope, connection, and lived experience back into our communities.
