We dedicate our Cy-Hope newsletter to YOU! We thank you for your dedication to helping us make life better for all kids in Cy-Fair. Just like you,
a core group of people concerned about the children in our community birthed Cy-Hope in 2011. Cy-Fair ISD (CFISD) is the third largest school district in Texas, and the largest non-urban school district in the country. Half of the over 117,000 students in CFISD qualify as underserved by federal standards.
Cy-Hope exists because we believe:
- no child should go hungry;
- everyone needs mental health;
- all children should graduate from high school;
- all students should get to graduate career or college ready;
- every child should have access to sports, music, and enriching experiences; and
- every person matters and should feel valued.
Here's how Cy-Hope funds the programs to achieve these goals:
- Cy-Hope Counseling (35%)
- Resale Market (35%)
- Donations/grants (14%)
-
Fundraising (9%)
- Venue rentals (3%)
- In-kind (4%)
- Program Fees (less than 1%)
Thank you for your support and dedication to #bethedifference in our community!

Thanks to our volunteer, sponsor, and donor support, we have grown our programs a lot since launching in 2011:
- Our Backpack Program started with 2 schools and 80 bags of food per week and now serves 48 schools and delivers 889 bags of food per week.
- We began with 2 Hope Centers serving 100 students per week and now have 5 Hope Centers serving over 200 students per week.
- We began our Providing Opportunities Program in 2013 by providing $33,982 in support and provided $97,447 in support in 2019. We have assisted 8.943 students with a total of $429,527 provided to-date.
- We started Camp Lemonade with 45 campers for 2 nights and have sent 120 or more campers for 3 nights the last several years.
- Ambassadors of Compassion started in 2014 in 3 high schools, with 30 students, and 5 mentor coaches. In 2019, we started the year in 6 schools, with 229 students, and 45 mentor coaches.
- We have provided underserved students with a quality band camp for 5 years through Devine Virtuosos and added a new program helping 28 underserved students take private lessons in 2018.
- Dierker's Champs has grown from 90 players on 6 teams in 3 elementary schools to 275 players on 25 teams in 18 schools - 10 elementary and 8 middle schools.
- We opened Cy-Hope Counseling in 2013 with 2 counselors and ended 2013 with about 194 new clients and 7 counselors. We'll end 2019 with 17 Counselors, one Speech Language Pathologist, and 1,200 new clients.
- We opened the Hope Chest Resale Market in 2016 with bare floors and an empty donation area. With the support of our community (donations, volunteer staff and community shoppers), we continue to thrive and generate substantial funds to support our Cy-Hope programs. With the help of over 175 active volunteers, our sales have increased over 55% over the last two years, serving over 43,000 customers this year.
