Meet Our Honorees

Honoring the Visionaries Behind Our Impact

At our 25th Anniversary Reception, we’re proud to recognize four extraordinary honorees whose leadership, advocacy, and partnership have fueled our mission and shaped the future of Hopeworks.

Chuck McLister

Tom McCaully

Chuck McLister & Tom McCaully, Former Hopeworks Board of Directors

The Visionary Changemaker Award

Chuck and Tom are the unsung heroes behind one of the most transformational shifts in Hopeworks’ history—bringing Trauma-Informed Care to our model and laying the foundation for the healing-centered environment we uphold today. Their visionary leadership has not only changed lives—it has shaped the way we serve every young adult who walks through our doors.

Dannyelle Austin

The Fierce Advocate Award

A champion for equity and belonging, Dannyelle has been a driving force in ensuring that Hopeworks’ culture is deeply rooted in justice, authenticity, and celebration of identity. Her fearless leadership has opened doors, elevated voices, and ensured that Black and Brown young professionals thrive in spaces built for their success.

The Campbell’s Company

The Legacy of Hope Award

Hopeworks wouldn’t be what it is today without the early, unwavering support of The Campbell’s Company. As our first grantor, they believed in our vision when it was just beginning—and their legacy of investment continues to empower the next generation of changemakers. Their long-standing commitment has fueled sustainable impact across decades.

JPMorgan Chase Foundation

The Mission Multiplier Award

This award honors the bold partnership of JPMorgan Chase Foundation, whose strategic support enabled our expansion into Philadelphia—reaching more young adults, scaling our impact, and multiplying opportunities. Their investment has been catalytic, advancing our mission in ways that will be felt for generations to come.
