The 2026 Beacon of Hope Celebration was a powerful evening of honesty, healing, and hope.
We are especially grateful to Emilee Aldridge, Kim Lewis, and Josh Fortner for courageously sharing their personal experiences with mental illness, addiction, recovery, and healing. Your willingness to tell your stories helps break stigma, encourage conversation, and remind others that they are not alone.
Thank you for helping make this year’s Beacon of Hope such a meaningful and impactful event. 💛
