Welcome to Shadows of Hope

Where Music, Community, and Compassion Come Together

Shadows of Hope began as a shared passion among three friends — Ashlee, Mark, and Jenn — who connected through their mutual love of the band Ghost, costuming, and the creative energy that surrounds their fan community. What started as a friendship built on music, laughter, and late-night ideas soon grew into something bigger: a mission to give back through art, connection, and hope.

United by the belief that creativity can change lives, we founded Shadows of Hope as a grassroots charity project that blends the theatrical world of Ghost fandom with real-world impact. Our community thrives on supporting one another, celebrating individuality, and channeling our collective passion into meaningful causes.

Based in both Washington State and New York, we’re working to expand this project into something truly special. Our long-term vision includes creating community arts spaces such as a recording studio or local venue where artists of all backgrounds can collaborate, create, and feel supported.

Every donation, event, and creative project we host moves us one step closer to that dream. Shadows of Hope isn’t just a charity; it’s a movement born from friendship, fandom, and the shared belief that even in the darkest places, there’s always light when we stand together.

Stay tuned as we grow, build, and bring our vision to life, one act of kindness and creativity at a time.
