We are so thankful to Round Top Baptist Church for sponsoring this event.

This will be a great opportunity for parents and students alike to come out and learn more about the disguises
human traffickers use and how to avoid the pitfalls.

We will discuss fact vs. fiction regarding the way human trafficking is portrayed on television to reality in SC.

Mt Tabor Lutheran has graciously and courageously invited Lighthouse For Life to come and speak on Sunday September 22.

Join CEO Jen Thompson as she discusses the truth about human trafficking vs. the myths we so often confuse for reality.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there so come and gain some clarity.
Topics include but are not limited to
What is human trafficking?
What makes someone vulnerable?
Does trafficking only happen to females?
How do you decide who is a positive person or a negative person in life?
The 5 disguises traffickers try to use to get close to their target.
What do we do once we realize someone we know is being groomed or trafficked?
How can you help?

So if you are a parent, caregiver, student (grades 6-12) or community member this event is especially for you!

WHAT IS THE GREAT INFLATABLE RACE?
The Great Inflatable Race is a fun run with inflatable obstacles spread throughout the running course. You and your friends will feel like kids again as you jump, dive and bounce on our custom-designed inflatables. Get fit, support a good cause and create epic memories that will last you a lifetime!

Register using code LIGHTHOUSE2019 to save money AND have a part of your registration donated to Lighthouse For Life!!!

You'll start the race climbing one of our inflatables and then race your friends and family to the next inflatable obstacle. This bouncy course contains between 8-10 massive inflatables that will bounce, bump and slide you all over the place! You'll finish the race with a perfect photo op on our final inflatable, and after a nice refreshing drink, you can check out our awesome Inflatable Village. Check out our Inflatable Village page to see what the after party is all about!

Our inflatables are one of a kind, and your whole family will enjoy this amazing run. Bring your kids and feel like a kid again yourself. Join us at The Great Inflatable Race!

Last year we had 71 participants register for Lighthouse for Life. This years goal is 150.


If you would rather participate as a volunteer register to volunteer using the same code and L4L will receive a $20 donation for every volunteer who works a 4 hour shift.
