HPF Gets “Twitchy” for Camp Twitch & Shout
HPF took part in the 3rd annual fundraiser for Camp Twitch & Shout by purchasing a table and attending the event and supporting awareness of those affected with Tourette’s syndrome. Each year, children get to attend this one week camp at Camp Twitch and Shout in which they get to relax and be themselves without the fear of being made fun of or bullied in an environment that helps to build self-esteem. Many children affected with this have very few friends and isolate themselves. Funds raised goes towards scholarships so children that can’t afford the fee are still able to attend. The event included a full buffet, drinks, silent auction & raffles along with a DJ and an amazing performance by the camp counselors! Children with disabilities and challenges like Tourette’s are at a greater risk of being bullied or sexually assaulted due to communication barriers and warning signs that are often masked and an effort that helps to build self-esteem, a contributing factor to prevention, is an effort HPF can support!

Invited Back to Barnegat High School
HPF was invited back to Barnegat High School this year to take part in the “Tell Us Your Story” program. Invited to speak at the pilot program last year to the junior class, this year, the program expanded to the entire student body and faculty! In two sessions, and over 1,000 students, HPF presented the personal story of co-founder Rhett Hackett and educated on the topic of interpersonal violence prevention in the areas of Child Abuse, Domestic Violence and Bullying! The session wrapped up with Q&A from audience members and the opportunity for some photo’s. This is how change occurs and as we tell our stories, and educate the public, we learn that we are not alone and that we can protect one another. If you are interested in having HPF come and speak at your school select the contact tab and reach out to us. We will be happy to sit down with you and discuss and execute a program that is best!
