💚 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 💚

We are beyond grateful to announce that Midland States Bank has awarded Hope For Tomorrow Community Development Center a $7,500 grant through the Midland Foundation!

This incredible investment is going directly toward our Seek and Sight adaptive literacy program and our Literacy 4 Life campaign — expanding reading access for children across the greater St. Louis region who learn differently and deserve better tools to help them thrive.

Midland States Bank is officially recognized as a Gold Sponsor of Literacy 4 Life — and we are proud to call them a partner in this work. Their commitment to this community is real, and this check is proof.

If your organization believes in literacy, education, and the power of community — we invite you to join Midland States Bank at the table. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for our May 30 event!
