SUMMARY:A Night with Bridgehaven Fundraising Gala
DESCRIPTION:Join us for A Night with Bridgehaven!  \n\nWe invite you to Come & See what God is doing through Bridgehaven. This year’s theme is inspired by the interaction between Philip and Nathanael in John 1:43-46. “Nathaniel said to him\, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him\, “Come and see.” John 1:46. This year’s Bridgehaven Gala celebrates the miraculous ways He brings hope and transformation to women\, men\, and families facing unplanned pregnancies.\n\n\n\nThis event is a Dessert Gala\, so please make sure to eat dinner prior to attending. Check-in begins at 7:00 p.m.\, before doors open at 7:15 p.m. You are welcome to make your dessert selection\, find your table\, and fellowship with others before the program begins at 7:45 p.m.\n\nThanks to the generosity of one of our donors\, the event is free to attend\, allowing guests to give freely and help us reach our goal of $150\,000.\n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers: David and Jason Benham\n\nThe Benham Brothers are identical twins\, former professional baseball players\, best-selling authors\, and nationally recognized entrepreneurs. Known for their unwavering commitment to “building business God’s way\,” they’ve founded multiple successful businesses across the nation and spearheaded several pro-life initiatives. Growing up with a father who was a national pro-life leader\, they often joke that they’ve spent more time at abortion clinics than baseball fields!\n\nTheir success earned them a straight-to-series reality TV show with HGTV\, but it was abruptly canceled due to their unapologetic stand for life and biblical values. The cancellation thrust them into the national spotlight\, where they boldly stood by their convictions\, appearing on major networks like Fox News\, CNN\, ABC’s Nightline\, and Good Morning America.\n\nToday\, David and Jason travel the country\, inspiring believers to courageously stand for truth\, advocate for the unborn\, and live out their faith without compromise—no matter the cost. We are thrilled to have the Benham Brothers join us for this special event!
