Colors for Colette began as a fundraising event in 2021 to honor the life of Colette Piazza and raise funds for pediatric cancer care and research. As the event grew, so did our vision for bringing hope to lives affected by medical trauma.
In 2024, This Present Hope was launched, becoming an official non-profit company, overseeing the Colors for Colette event and creating new, ever-expanding programs and resources for families of critically and/or chronically ill children.
