On April 18, 2026, the Olivia Chan Foundation hosted its 3rd Annual Brewing Hope at Movement Brewing in Rancho Cordova—bringing together a powerful community united by one mission: to support grieving children and families.
Because of this incredible support, families navigating loss are finding connection, healing, and hope.
A Meaningful Night of Impact
The evening featured inspiring speakers, live performances, dinner, and a lively silent auction and raffle supported by generous local donors and businesses.
Speakers Colby Bell, Rachel Cruz, and Stephanie Tom shared powerful perspectives on resilience, community, and the importance of showing up for one another.
Honoring Community Leaders
This year marked the introduction of two inaugural awards recognizing outstanding community impact:
