OUR MISSION

 

Our mission is simple: give hope to those who need it most

 

Coles' Hope Foundation will honor the memory and passion of Cole Buehner by giving assistance, resources and support to students in hardship situations or with special needs throughout Jefferson County, MO. Our goal is to help kids, and help families. Our mission is to give HOPE to those who need it most.


Cole's Hope Foundation was created to honor the memory of our son, Colton Buehner, who lost his life on 10/21/14 at age 17. Our mission is to continue his passion to reach out to others. We always knew that Cole had a huge heart, but until we heard stories, testimonies and read posts, we had no idea just how many people he shared his heart with. Cole had a passion to reach out to others. He offered advice, a shoulder to lean on, and most of all, Cole offered HOPE. Hope for a better tomorrow, for a second chance, and hope to rise above.


Cole's Hope is solely funded by the help of our community, We depend on the kind hearts of others to help us, help teens. If you would like to be a part of this mission, please contact us today!
