5th Annual Run for Hope 2026

We are excited to invite you to partner with us as an event sponsor for the 5th Annual Run for Hope fundraising event, hosted by the Navajo Hopi Health Foundation (NHHF). The event will take place on September 19, 2026, at the Western Navajo Fairgrounds running trails in Tuba City, Arizona. The Run for Hope brings our community together to raise awareness and funds for individuals and families affected by cancer. All proceeds directly support the Specialty Care Center at Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation (TCRHCC), helping patients receive high-quality, specialized cancer care close to home. Funds raised through the Run for Hope provide vital assistance, including:
  • Patient accessories, such as hats, wigs, hairpieces, comfort items and catheter covers.
  • Nutritional supplements to boost immunity and support overall well-being.
  • Financial support providing gas cards for travel to medical appointments.
More importantly, these resources offer dignity, comfort, and reassurance during a very challenging time. Together, we can bring hope, comfort, and compassionate care to our families.

MASQUERADE BALL 2025

The Navajo Hopi Health Foundation is thrilled to announce our 9th Annual Gala & Auction to be held December 6, 2025, at the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort, Flagstaff, Arizona. This annual fundraising event is dedicated to supporting the Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation (TCRHCC) in its mission to provide exceptional patient care to the Native American communities of the Navajo, Hopi, and San Juan Southern Paiute.

Thank You to our sponsors for a memorable evening with festive décor, a delicious dinner, lively dancing, and the opportunity to bid on unique pieces of art in our silent auction. This year, our gala event was themed as a Masquerade Ball. We have reached out to organizations that share our compassion and invited each one to partner with us to improve healthcare for the most vulnerable in the rural region of the Western Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona.

Our gala funds have been used to purchase medical equipment such as bilirubin monitors for our newborns, infant warmers to save lives of our critically ill newborn patients, and physical rehab machines to help patients rebuild their strength and mobility, to name a few. Our sponsors have been a part of saving lives and helping our family and friends in their recovery.

2025 Run For Hope Save the Date

RUN FOR HOPE 2025

Supporting Cancer Care at TCRHCC

A special thanks to our participants and sponsors for helping to make Run for Hope a successful event. It was a beautiful sunny day beginning with a bright and early morning and a smell of fresh rain from the prior day. Our participants were ready with their laces up to run on behalf of a loved one that had faced cancer. We strived to make an emphasis on the importance of screening for cancer and sharing a wealth of information welcoming TJ Riggs, the Oncology Services Program Director at the Specialty Care Center and Janice Whiterock, Program Manager for Cancer Support Community at Tuba City Regional Health Care.

Signage with tips on ways to prevent cancer was placed along the 3K, 5K and 10K routes with water stations in key areas. Run for Hope is a non-competitive race and with the help of Coconino County Board of Supervisors, we gave our participants fresh fruits, granola snacks and hydration drinks upon reaching the finish line. Hogan Espresso made a donation of a limited supply of tote bags that were given to our 5K and 10K runners. We are especially grateful to our T-shirt sponsor, Loven Contracting, for allowing us to give T-shirts to our participants.

This is the Navajo Hopi Health Foundation’s 4th Annual Run for Hope event, which began in 2019. It is a collaborative fundraising effort, and we only want to continue to grow stronger every year to give our participants a memorable experience.

2018 Madeleine Gross Family Scholarship Recipient

The Madeleine Gross Family Scholarship program started in 2017 and is administered by the Navajo Hopi Health Foundation. The $5,000 scholarship is awarded to a high school Senior from the Tuba City high schools. The students write an essay of overcoming a hardship in their lives and how their winning attitude prevailed as they focused on acquiring a college education. Thank you to the Madeleine Gross Family for encouraging our children to pursue college degrees by providing this scholarship opportunity.

Due to the pandemic, the 2020 scholarship program was deferred. Instead, the administrator of the Madeleine Gross family elected to award all four former scholarship recipients; so, each student received $1,250 for their college school year. Best wishes to each student from the Navajo Hopi Health Foundation.
