On April 27, 2024, at the Spring for Hope event, Parental Hope will be awarding TWO (2) Parental Hope Family Grants which will cover either a full standard round of IVF or a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) at the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Parental Hope Family Grants will be awarded in a blind draw of entries for all eligible participants live during the Spring For Hope event on April 27, 2024. There is no fee to apply. Approval of your application entitles you to ten (10) entries into the Grant Giveaway. An eligible participant can accumulate additional entries by bringing people to the event!
Eligible Participants can build teams to accumulate additional entries into the Grant Pool. For each individual that purchases a ticket to Spring for Hope event and attends to support an eligible Participant, such eligible participant will receive five (5) additional entries into the Grant Pool. There is no limit to how many people you can bring to the event, but the event overall will have limited occupancy. Note: Supporters attending the event will be required to check-in at a designated spot to confirm attendance. Only upon check-in shall the additional entries be added to the Grant Pool. This is to prevent Participants from gaining additional entries by simply purchasing tickets to the event.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Participant must attend the Spring for Hope Event on April 27, 2024. Note: Participant(s) attending the event will be required to check-in at a designated spot to confirm attendance. Only upon check-in shall the entries be added to the Grant Pool.
