What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is only the year's biggest day of giving outside Dec 31! It's designed to kick-start the charitable end-of-year giving season, especially within the local community. This 24-hour giving event celebrates donors, organizations, and the do-good impact we have together.

Why participate in Giving Tuesday?
Lighthouse for Life will be participating in Giving Tuesday for the third consecutive year. Our goal this year is $40,000. That’s not just a goal, that is a need. We have been so active all across SC these past 5 years and have celebrated many “wins.” There is still so much more to do and we can only do it with your help.

How do I participate in Giving Tuesday?
1. Donate. There are three easy options to give – A) write a check, B)through the lighthouesforlife.org webpage
OR YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR DOLLARS by 3) donating through the Lighthouse for Life Facebook page starting at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday December 3rd. Every dollar given through our Facebook page will be doubled up to $100,000 or until Facebook runs out of money.

2. Donate as close to 8:00 a.m. as possible Facebook has set aside millions of dollars to match gifts but its first come, first serve. The closer you donate to 8:00 a.m. via our Facebook page the better chance you have for your impact to double.

3. Spread the word – please consider asking others to participate in this seasonal day of generosity to welcome the holiday season and to help Lighthouse for Life continue to fight human trafficking in SC.

4. Pray that God will be pleased with our efforts and that the hearts of others will be moved to participate.

The Bodyshop Athletics annual Turkey Trot is a holiday family tradition. The Turkey Trot features a 2.5 mile race, a 5-mile race and a family fun run.

Some proceeds from this race will benefit Lighthouse for Life!!!!

Join us as we run, walk and jog at Saluda Shoals Park at 7:00 p.m. on behalf of those enslaved in human trafficking. This event is to raise awareness and funds to support the outreach program of Lighthouse for Life.

This event is for serious runners all the way to families with little kids in wagons and furry friends on a leash. The more people the better!!! Will you make plans NOW to join us THEN!

You'll have the time because our race in on LEAP DAY!! You can dedicate an hour of an entire extra 24 to having fun while supporting an amazing cause right?!

The best part of the race is the GLOW FACTOR. We will all be glowing as we run out as lights into the dark and while it looks super cool and kids really dig it......the big true reason is to symbolize taking the light of hope into the dark and painful world of modern day slavery.
