The Ticket To Hope High-Five Challenge
What In the Heck Is This All About?

Ticket to Hope is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Hamilton, Ohio, with a mission to bring hope to individuals who need it the most by creating unforgettable experiences. This year, we have partnered with the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon and Cincinnati Reds to achieve two primary goals: to capture the World Record for “Most High-Fives in 24 Hours” and to provide 1,000 tickets to children and families in need of hope, with a special focus on our Cincinnati foster programs.

These tickets are for the August 7th Cincinnati Reds game against the Miami Marlins, where all of us will be together, cheering at the top of our lungs. It will be a challenging but ultimately rewarding and life-changing experience for many. As part of the on-field presentation, we will highlight the World Record challenge and recognize all the kids in the stands by showcasing them on the jumbotron.

Tell Me About The Current Hi-Five Record?

You may be curious about an individual’s current World Record for most high fives in 24 hours. The current record stands at 14,607 high fives, achieved by Pete Timbs from Australia during the Bridge to Brisbane fun run in Brisbane, Queensland, on September 2, 2012. We’re excited to work with you to create a unique and unforgettable experience that brings hope and excitement to Cincinnati and potentially breaks the world record.

What Communities Will This Impact?

The answer is simple: everyone! This challenge goes beyond setting a record or taking kids to a baseball game; it’s about fostering a sense of community and assisting others. There’s no better feeling than helping others feel good.

Our Communities Need Us

Our goal is to positively impact the communities we serve by instilling hope and promoting a positive outlook. This approach benefits individuals and can create job opportunities, develop valuable skills, and enhance the overall quality of life. We believe that a healthy mindset is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.
