Executive Director Letter 2019

A lot can happen in a year. Even more apparently can happen in a decade. HPF started the year off with a bang. We had the 2nd Annual Orange Tie Affair. We launched a web TV mini-series #HandsOff. We continued to help those needing advocacy support and those who had experienced abuse. And then something odd happened - we kind of hit a plateau. I’ve had countless conversations with other entrepreneurs and successful startups. Most of the books out there will tell you the same as well. Get to the 5 year mark and magical things will happen for your [...]

Executive Director Letter 2018

What has 2018 brought me? I have been saying this for a while now, that every year has gotten better than the last, and this one didn’t disappoint. For starters, I got married to the most beautiful, wonderful and loving person in the world. There were so many incredible little moments and events leading up to what was the greatest day of my life. For those that played apart in the journey, you know who you are, and we can’t thank you enough. Alex, you make me a better person and I can’t wait to continue this lifelong adventure together. On [...]

Executive Director Letter 2016

Ladies & Gentlemen, If you are reading this then congratulations – you have done the impossible. You survived 2016 and all that it was. There was a lot of chaos out there, but there was also a lot of love & kindness being shared. HPF as an organization witnessed this first hand through the number of people we helped (children and adults), the number of impressions we made and the amount of money that we raised. Spoiler alert: all were our highest totals since we founded this thing back in 2013. That does not happen without your participation and there [...]

Executive Director Letter 2015

Greetings Everyone! As the final waning hours of 2014 begin to tick off the clock – I, like so many others, have been spending a lot of time reflecting on what a fantastic year it has been. On a personal level, I completely changed my life and moved to Wisconsin for a growth opportunity, leaving behind a tremendous network of family, friends and acquaintances (thank god for FaceTime). I took on the challenge of learning a new language, Spanish to be exact, and it has been quite the challenge to say the least (Aprender un nuevo idioma es difícil.) I [...]

Executive Director Letter 2013

Hello Everyone, First and foremost, we want to thank every single one of you for making 2013 an incredible start to our journey. Since we started just six months ago, the Humanity Preservation Foundation has already spoken to 1,000's of people about the effects abuse can have on everyone. We also have spoken to many about different ways to prevent these heinous acts from occurring in the future, but for that to become a reality, it will truly take a team effort. You are all apart of that team. I learned a lot in 2013 in regards to not just [...]

GCASE & COMA present County Wide Professional Development Day

What do you get when you fill a lecture hall with 180+ educators, child study teams, and special needs education teachers? Co-Founder Rhett Hackett's favorite kind of people to speak to, TEACHERS! This type of audience is at the core of every community - the school system. Most children at some point will come into contact with the folks that attended the conference November 6th 2013. Rhett had the opportunity to speak to them and tell them the story of his journey - overcoming child sexual abuse - and demonstrating that it is possible to heal, thrive, and inspire. Most [...]
