Here at LIGHT we strive for greatness in making the world a better place for our children, our future. It’s not easy. If it were, everyone would do it.
What keeps us going? Two really important things. #1. Experiencing, on a daily basis, the transformative changes that we are making in the lives of those we serve. And #2. YOU!
When you donate, serve as a board member, volunteer, show up and read stories to our children – your acts of grace, generosity and kindness sustain us and the families we serve. We remain humbly grateful.
With our 21st Anniversary Gala approaching on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, we hope that we can count on your support.
Last year, our Epic 20th Anniversary Gala was simply AMAZING as we honored some of the unsung heroes who do so much good in Baltimore. The night was filled with testimonials of the wonderful services we provide at LIGHT and how giving and donating actually helps a family, individual, or child. We laughed, danced, and even shed a tear together on this momentous night.
People are still talking about our 2018 Gala and how it was not only great entertainment but left a lasting impact. People who knew little about the wonderful things we do at LIGHT are now some of our greatest supporters. Having a 20 year history, it was humbling to know that LIGHT has helped families break multi-generational poverty by empowering individuals to create opportunities to become change agents and future leaders.

I hope to see you there! Please find me (or I’ll find you!) so that I can personally thank you for your valuable support.
If you cannot be with us on this special occasion please consider making a generous donation on our Gala page.
This Gala is a critical part of our efforts to sustain our work here at LIGHT. Thank you in advance for your support.
Humbly,

Fridays at the Firehouse
On August 23rd LIGHT Rock Child Care Center had a wonderful day at our local Fire Station Truck #10 Engine 8. We spent the day having lunch with our Baltimore City Mayor, Jack Young and a number of our great Constituents. Our little scholars enjoyed chalk play, sitting on the fire truck, playing with the Orioles Bird, and they were given Back to School treats like Bookbags, pencils, and fun Orioles presents.
We have exciting news to share!!
Our support group “More Than Me” is back and by popular demand. The program is designed to address common barriers that prevent HIV-positive individuals from remaining in care by having HIV infected clients who are in need of additional support by family and/or friends.
