✨ Building Hope – Be the Difference ✨

On February 12th, 2026, Eric Moats and Caroline McMillan proudly volunteered at the Building Hope event held at Grafton High School.

Since 2017, Building Hope has been helping students “Be the Difference” through high-energy, multi-stimulus, one-day presentations designed to spark positive cultural change within schools. Their work continues to inspire students and staff to support one another and uplift their school communities.

“One of the most powerful moments was watching Grafton HS students step outside their usual peer groups. I even teared up when I saw a student athlete bring a neurodivergent student into their group with kindness and encouragement. It was truly an amazing event.”

-Caroline McMillan
