The Cause Catalyst Awards named Hope Survives’ managing director one of three honorees in its second annual awards cycle.
We’re proud to share that Jasmine Balignasay-Chavez, managing director of Hope Survives, has received The Catalyst Award in the 2026 Cause Catalyst Awards. In announcing the winners, the organizers highlighted Hope Survives’ work to build community and provide education and resources for people and families affected by brain injury.
Brain injury can change everyday life in ways that are hard to explain to someone who hasn’t lived through it. A support group can offer a place to talk with people who understand. A workshop can offer practical tools to try at home. Hope Survives brings these opportunities online so people living with brain injury and their families can take part from wherever they are.
Thank you to the community members who share their experiences and to the volunteers and facilitators who make space for those conversations. We’re glad to celebrate this recognition with you. Congratulations, too, to fellow honorees Orange County Rescue Mission and Domonique Cooper of Atlanta CASA.
