2023 Welcomes New President
We are thrilled to announce the election of our new President, Ryan Janes. Ryan has recently been promoted to Montana Highway Patrol Traffic Safety Resource Officer Sergeant, rounding out his 9th year with the Patrol.
Ryan is no stranger to the Montana Hope Project and shares fond memories of granting wishes alongside his dad and uncle, our very own Cal Janes. Cal has recently stepped down as Vice President but remains our Secretary; Missoula Area Coordinator and Trooper, Nick Navarro, has now stepped into that VP role.
We have filled all open coordinator/officer positions and are fully staffed for the first time in a while. For a full list of coordinators and their contact information, visit www.montanahope.org/coordinators. Contact the Area Coordinator nearest you to refer a child, request additional information, or to volunteer during an event or organize your own.
“We have been busy granting wishes and have many more to come, which is exciting! We also have a ton of fun events in the works, which I encourage everyone to attend if possible,” explains new President, Ryan Janes. “I am grateful to be a part of such a worthwhile and meaningful cause, working with this incredible group of individuals.”
2023 Wrap Up
2023 has flown by and we are prepped and ready to tackle 2024! We are continually grateful for our officers, coordinators, board members, and volunteers who make the Montana Hope Project the wonderful organization that it is. Grateful to those who donate money, time, and talents to ensure the stability of our organization, and grateful for the number of wishes we’ve been able to grant this year as a result of that generosity. We have added 29 new Children of Hope to our growing Hope Family this year! That is 3x the number of 2022 wishes-granted!
“Twenty-nine wishes is a lot, and we hope to continue that momentum into 2024!” says President, MHP Sgt. Ryan Janes. “We are fortunate to receive donations and sponsorships throughout the year that allow us to do what we do, not just granting wishes, but hosting our summer and winter reunions as well. We rely significantly on the generosity of others and encourage anyone who may be interested in becoming a sponsor to check out options on our website.”
