Past Events

3rd Annual Beacon of Hope 5K Run/Walk     October 24, 2009
Over 200 runners joined us on the Virginia Beach oceanfront for a scenic run/walk along the boardwalk.  Special thanks to the Old Coast Guard station for their gracious hospitality, and to Tidewater Striders for their organizational support.  This year INAL handed out Tech shirts to the first 200 participants in the 5K event.  We also hosted the 1 mile memory walk, allowing those who have lost a loved one to suicide to honor their memory, and support prevention efforts in our community.  We are thrilled that this event grows each year.
 
Sunset and Wine     September 28, 2009
I Need a Lighthouse hosted a wonderful evening at Church Point Manor.  A lovely Fall evening was marked by delicious food and soothing music in a beautiful setting.  All funds raised support INAL's efforts in the Hampton Roads community.   We would like to thank all of our sponsors and sponsors and guests for making this event a huge success.  Please join us again next year!
