The event will also offer an auction to collect donations for new hopes free and confidential sexual and domestic violence. One of the auction objects is a signed pressure of the event logo, which was created by an animal shelter known as Sophie.

“When I knew about my passion for art, a lawyer invited me to create the design for this year's Highlights of Hope event,” said Sophie. “I immediately thought of sunshine, birds that fly freely, flower and bloom and a way forward. I feel very honored to return my art and thank you in the new hope.”

The auction went live on May 1st, together with a gold raffle that offered a five-night safari in the South African region of Waterberg.
