We are so honored to have Chris Gardner join us as our keynote speaker for Casting Hope. This night will be even more special because of our personal connection to him. Marshall Geller is one of the first people to give Chris Gardner his opportunity in life (as portrayed in the movie). Mr. Geller is a dear friend of On River Time, he owns The Lodge at Palisades Creek, where we host On River Time camps!
We are so grateful to Mr. Geller for making it possible to take children of abuse and neglect to his beautiful lodge for eleven years. In addition, he allowed us to build the “On River Time” cabin on the property, to accommodate even more kids. We will be auctioning off an amazing stay at The Lodge at Palisades Creek at Casting Hope!
