After six years, the Team TobyMac / Run For Hope running team reunited in April 2025 for an important cause. Below are pictures of the renamed team – #RunForGabe / NHA – who came to visit New Hope Academy (Friday), before the race, and after the race. This year we joined together to honor Gabe “GabeReal” Patillo, raising scholarship funds for his children and others in New Hope Academy. In the first and third pictures we were honored to have Jenni Patillo, Gabe’s wife, join us as she expressed her support for the team and appreciation for remembering Gabe a year after his passing.
I personally want to thank all of those who supported the team – in prayer and financially – to make this event happen. Thanks to you, we were able to sponsor nearly 232 days of education – that’s $18,550!
There are two additional pieces of good news I want to share. First, if you couldn’t give or have a desire to give more – you can! Please scroll to the bottom of the page; any donation is greatly appreciated. Second, the team has decided to do it again in 2026! If you’d like to participate, please mark your calendars for April 24 – 26, 2026. More details coming soon.
Thank you for your prayers, your donations, and your ongoing support for the Patillo family and New Hope Academy.
