Tournament Background
​Over the past thirteen years, we have raised over $45,000 to support Northeast Ohio families in the throes of grief. We have partnered with Southwest General Hospital, Cornerstone of Hope, the Abbey Rose Foundation, among others. We have also placed a Cuddle Cot in the Southwest General maternity ward and provided care packages to grieving families. In 2023, we launched two new programs: Grief Getaways and Financial Support for Funerals.
​
In 2024, we received our first applications for financial funeral support.
We were able to provide support for four families grieving the loss of a baby or young child.
Additional information about our organization, our personal journey, and previous tournaments can also be found at the Buckets of Hope for Tender Hearts Facebook page.
