SUMMARY:A Night with Bridgehaven Fundraising Gala
DESCRIPTION:A Night with Bridgehaven 2026\nJoin us for A Night with Bridgehaven as we gather to celebrate the life-changing work God is doing through the ministry of Bridgehaven. This year’s gala centers on stories of redemption\, restoration\, and hope—stories we see lived out every day as women\, men\, and families walk through our doors seeking compassion\, truth\, and support in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. \nThis evening is an opportunity to reflect on the profound impact Bridgehaven has on our community and to celebrate how God brings healing and purpose from brokenness. Together\, we will rejoice in lives restored\, families strengthened\, and hope renewed. \nDoors will open at 6:30 p.m. for our new pre-program social hour\, featuring check-in\, a photo booth for pictures with Al & Lisa Robertson\, dessert selection\, raffle drawings\, and fellowship. The program will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. This event is a Dessert Gala\, so guests are encouraged to enjoy dinner prior to attending. \nThanks to the generosity of one of our donors\, this event is free to attend\, allowing guests to give freely throughout the evening as we work toward our $200\,000 fundraising goal in support of Bridgehaven’s mission.\n\nKeynote Speakers: Al & Lisa Robertson (Duck Dynasty)\nBridgehaven is honored to welcome Al and Lisa Robertson of Duck Dynasty as our keynote speakers for the 2026 Night with Bridgehaven Gala. \nAl is the oldest son of Phil and Miss Kay Robertson\, the patriarch and matriarch of the Duck Dynasty family. Lisa is his wife of 38 years\, and together they have spent more than 22 years sharing their story through ministry and speaking at marriage retreats\, pregnancy centers\, pro-life events\, and seminars across the country. \nLisa carries a powerful and deeply moving testimony that leaves a lasting impact on everyone she meets. Together\, Al and Lisa speak openly about brokenness\, restoration\, and the hope found through faith in Jesus Christ. Their story mirrors what we see daily at Bridgehaven—lives transformed through compassion\, truth\, and unwavering hope. \nGet ready for a memorable night filled with fun\, laughter\, tears\, and inspiration as we come together to celebrate what God is doing through Bridgehaven—and through each of you who make this ministry possible. \nSo sport your camo\, grow out your beard\, or dress it up with fancy beads—it’s a night for everyone as we celebrate life\, faith\, and the incredible impact of Bridgehaven.

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!
