Partners In Hope Leap of Faith

Building Bridges Through Courage

In the spirit of unity and community, join us on August 19, 2023, for a monumental and unique event that is guaranteed to leave an indelible mark on the city of Milwaukee. Hosted by PIH and CW, the event aptly named, Leap of Faith, is an extraordinary initiative designed to foster communication, transparency, and vulnerability among two traditionally disparate groups: police officers and formerly incarcerated individuals.

It’s FREE to attend and show your support. Sign up below.

What is Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith transcends the norm by facilitating an unprecedented bonding experience between police officers and PIH’s graduates, as they literally take a leap together – a tandem skydive. This event aims to promote a mutual understanding and respect that will ripple throughout the community, as well as attract media coverage to shine a spotlight on the transformative work carried out by PIH.

This occasion is not just about the skydiving. It’s a full day of celebration and community-building, complete with a family-oriented atmosphere, food, beverages, entertainment, and a corn-hole tournament. So come, join us, and witness history being made as we bridge gaps and bring our community closer together.
