HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS GRIEVING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

Each year, Lighthouse supports over 400 children, youth, and their families as they navigate their grief after the life-altering loss of a parent or sibling. Your event registration or donation will fund our grief support groups to ensure there is no cost to families who need them.

Lighthouse does not receive government funding, so we rely on fundraising events and the generosity of our communities to be able to continue to offer our services free of charge to those that need them.

Please join and help us ensure that no child grieves alone.

TIMING: Warm Up/Opening Remarks - 8:30AM | 1K Start - 9:00AM | 5K Start - 9:30AM
