Thank you for attending the Beacon of Hope Community Luncheon!

We hope you enjoyed this year's luncheon and came away inspired after hearing Kevin Berthia and Kevin Briggs tell their inspiring story of hope and healing. Our heartfelt thanks go to the visionaries of the 2024 event: our dedicated chairs, Natalie Hatchett and Courtney Hubbard. To our vice chairs, committee chairs, event committee, and volunteers who worked tirelessly to execute today’s meaningful luncheon, thank you

 
Special thanks to Emily Lewis, our 2024 presenting sponsor! Whether you hosted a sponsor table, made a donation, or purchased raffle tickets, we're grateful for your support. Your generosity allows the Foundation to provide education, resources, and support to children and teens in North Texas.
