Registration is Open!

You’re invited to join us for our annual Beacon of Hope Breakfast.

We invite you to learn more and register to join us on October 15 to hold the door open for hope for local youth and families who need it most.

Time: 8:00 to 9:00 AM; arrive between 7:30 to 7:45 AM

Location: Westwood Country Club, Vienna, VA

Please join us on October 15 from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. for the Beacon of Hope Breakfast to hear inspiring stories from program participants, staff, and volunteers, and discover how, together, we can ensure every young person who reaches out for help finds an open door.

Help hold the door open for a young mother seeking safety, a teen experiencing homelessness, a young person balancing school while helping put food on their family’s table, or a teenager in crisis with nowhere else to turn.

Your presence matters. Your generosity makes a difference. Let’s keep hope within reach.

Interested in sponsoring the event? please contact our Vice President of Development.
