Thank you to our speaker, Pat Layton, for sharing her powerful story that moved hearts around the room.

Huge thank you to those who made this event what it was! Whether it was volunteering your time to help plan, set up, or tear down, or being an attendee, we can not thank you enough! Thank you to the individuals who donated items to be included in our silent ballot auction, to all of our event sponsors, and to everyone who was involved in one way or another.

It was a wonderful night, and we are so grateful to get to share the work we do at Gracehaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic with you all! If you were not able to attend on Friday evening and would like to give, please head here to do so https://bchfs.com/grace-haven-giving/

Thank you does not even begin to cover it! Our 2026 America The Beautiful Fall Festival is in the books! We have recovered from the heat but we are still reminiscing on such a fun day!

It was a hot day but it was such a fun day and we are so thankful for those who spent it with us! The list of people to thank is a mile long.

Two live music groups, puppet shows, free food and games, silent auction, quilt auction, t-shirt sales, a CANNON, the Son's of the Revolution, churches who set up booths, volunteers, those who set buses and drivers to the campus, The Trash Mafia, those who donated and cooked the food, those who donated items to the auctions, teams who played in the co****le tournament, those who attended, THANK YOU! We are so blessed!

Nobody goes unnoticed because without everyone playing a part, this event would not be possible! God is doing amazing things at BCHFS and we love getting to share that with you all!
