Justin's Wings of Hope

Justin's Celebration of Life: A Charitable Fundraiser (2022): A Recap & Thank you!



Justin's Wings of Hope Foundation annual fundraiser returned to Mulino's Lake Isle on Thursday, July 21, 2022. After a year hiatus from fundraising, we were pleased to have almost $20,000 raised, reaching our goal for the Justin's Wings of Hope Foundation. It was great to see old friends and supporters of the cause come out and enjoy a great evening of food, drinks and dancing!


OUR IMPACT

We had a very special video update from Gemini Phillips. Gemini graduated from Delaware State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Forensic Biology making both the President’s and Dean’s List. Gemini was awarded a scholarship from the Justin's Wings of Hope Foundation in 2014 to pursue her passion for science and medicine. Since receiving the scholarship, Gemini has sought out opportunities to use her skills to help others. The next step for Gemini is medical school! She will begin her studies at Ross University School of Medicine this fall. Congratulations Gemini!

"My hope is to practice in diverse underserved communities where I can truly make a difference in the lives of my patients. I would like to thank Justin and the Justin's Wings of Hope Foundation for the continued support, love, and investment in my future"
