Hope the Hippo

Meet Hope the Hippo, the mascot for Lily's Hope Foundation!!

 

The idea for “Hope the Hippo” came from Lily and Aidan Driscoll. When Lily was just one month old, her grandfather gave her a gray hippo, which eventually became her favorite stuffed animal. “Hippo,” as he is affectionately called, quickly became another member of the family. In an attempt to make sure “Hippo” would always be with her, we purchased an additional hippo just in case. This back up hippo recently became Aidan’s favorite stuffed animal, whose name is “Hippo Number Two.” It became obvious that the mascot for Lily’s Hope Foundation would be a hippo.

​

Lily’s Hope Foundation works with Artistic Toy in the Lehigh Valley to provide every Lily’s Hope preemie with their very own “Hippo.” 

 

Hope is now accompanying each Package of Hope that's given to our Lily's Hope Families!
