Come shine your light with us and make a lasting difference!

Every participant helps support a family in need. Registration comes with:

Why Your Support Matters

Proceeds from the Lights On for Families 5K directly fund critical services like Crisis Nurseries, our self sufficient single parent LifeStart Village, and Parent Education Classes. These services help prevent child abuse for families in their greatest time of need.

Don't wait to make a difference. Sign up by June 20th to guarantee your preferred t-shirt size!
