Annual Fundraising Banquet

Lighthouse brings God’s love to life every day by offering free, confidential services and compassionate support to women, men, and teens facing unexpected pregnancies and related concerns. Each life we serve is uniquely created by God, worthy of love, dignity, and hope.

 Our Annual Fundraising Banquet provides hope – plus other critical resources that save and change lives and strengthen families. The funds raised by this event ensure that our doors remain open for those in need of our LIFE-enhancing services and ongoing support.

 On Monday, March 15, 2027, we invite you to gather with us for an inspiring evening celebrating the impact of your partnership! We pray you will join us at The Venetian in Garfied, NJ, to build a strong financial foundation for service in 2027 and beyond!

 2027 Featured Banquet Speaker

Rarely are the terms “hilarious storyteller” and “theological scholar” used in the same sentence, much less used to describe the same person! But our 2027 keynote speaker, Lisa Harper, is anything but stereotypical! She has been lauded as a compelling communicator, whose writing and speaking emphasizes the glorious adventure of a real and intimate relationship with Jesus. Harper’s style combines biblical wisdom with engaging anecdotes and comedic wit. We look forward to her sharing her testimony which beautifully underscores our theme, Every Life Loved.

 Our 2026 Banquet

We were honored to hear from Dr. William Lile, a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist who has delivered over 5,000 babies and is licensed to practice medicine in both Florida and Alabama. Dr. Lile has served as an instructor for the University of Florida and Florida State University OB/GYN residency programs. In 1999, Dr. Lile founded ProLifeDoc, Inc., dedicating his life and medical expertise to defending life and educating others on the humanity of the unborn. Dr. Lile’s powerful testimony and medical insight provided a hope-filled message that beautifully reflected our 2026 theme: Fearfully & Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139:14).
