This month's guest speaker is Charlie Galindo, featuring music by Echo Worship.

A lifelong Oregonian, Charlie has built his life on the foundations of family and faith. But his journey hasn't been without challenges. When he was just a baby, doctors told his parents he wouldn't live past his first birthday. Now, years later, Charlie stands as a living testament to the power of purpose, resilience, and divine timing. Join us for an unforgettable evening as Charlie opens his heart and takes us on a journey filled with hope, courage, and unwavering faith. It's a story you won't want to miss!

While fundraising is still ongoing and we have a way to go to meet our financial goals for the event, we are close enough to the goal to move forward in faith together. We will be sharing more details about current fundraising numbers, updates to how the event will go this year, and more in the coming weeks.
