Andrea and Tom Howard

In a galaxy not so far away, on a sunny beach planet, a daring rescue operation is underway. The Rebel Alliance has received a distress signal from stranded cruisers, and it’s up to our favorite heroes to save the day from Darth Vader and the Storm Troopers. 

Tom and Andrea have landed their trusty ship, the Millennium Falcon, on the sandy shores. But they’re not alone. Joining them are their beloved, four-legged allies. These aren’t just any dogs—these are Jedi-trained pups with a knack for adventure and ready to tackle any challenge.

There’s a sense of urgency in the air. The cruiser, which has been damaged and is taking on water, is in dire need of help. The Rebel crew, alongside their canine companions, springs into action to fight off the Storm Troopers, but Darth Vader is demanding we raise $8,000 for Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference before he lets us go free. 

Our Rescue Fund supports Hands4Hope, a youth led organization with a mission to inspire and empower youth in leadership and service.  Through their programs, youth connect with each other and their communities, develop critical skills in leadership, communication, problem solving and collaboration . . . they find their passion, their voice, and collectively, they become civic minded, socially responsible citizens.

As the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow over the beach, we need YOU to help our mission become a success!  As our heroes and our canine friends head back to the Millennium Falcon, we hope to find the beach with a sense of peace and accomplishment. The galaxy will be safe once more, all thanks to an unexpected team of rescuers and their loyal, brave dogs.
