PHILADELPHIA PA, AUGUST 22, 2026 – Bringing Hope Home was recently featured in Metro Philadelphia following a special moment at our annual Hope Family Reunion at Citizens Bank Park. Kyle Lautenbacher, an 18-year-old from Langhorne, had the opportunity to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Philadelphia Phillies game after completing treatment for leukemia. Kyle and his Family have faced two cancer diagnoses in less than two years, and through our Light of Hope Family Program, Bringing Hope Home has helped ease some of the financial burden by providing assistance with household bills, groceries, and other essential needs. After an incredibly challenging year, this unforgettable evening gave Kyle and his Family an opportunity to celebrate, make memories together, and enjoy a special night at the ballpark. We are so grateful to have been part of Kyle and his Family’s journey and to celebrate this exciting milestone with them!
