Set at The Tech Interactive, one of the region’s most inspiring spaces for exploration and creativity, Innovate with Hope brings together community leaders, corporate partners, and advocates who believe innovation should expand opportunity for everyone. The evening will feature 49ers legend Patrick Willis as the keynote speaker, sharing his personal connection to the intellectual and developmental disability community and his perspective on how innovation and technology can advance opportunity, access, and inclusion. Through powerful storytelling and shared experiences, the event will highlight how Hope Services is creating new pathways to employment, independence, and community participation across the Bay Area.

Guests will enjoy a vibrant program featuring dinner, meaningful mission moments, and opportunities to connect with others committed to building a more inclusive future. The celebration continues with an after-party inside the museum, where music and dancing unfold among The Tech Interactive’s exhibits. Proceeds from Innovate with Hope support Hope Services programs serving more than 4,000 children, adults, and seniors, helping ensure dignity, access, and belonging remain at the heart of innovation in our region.
