A Night of Hope
One Lantern. One Step. A Pathway of Hope.
There is a story about a woman walking alone down a long, dark road on a stormy night. In her hand she carried only a small lantern.
At Cece’s Hope Center, we witness this story every day. A woman takes the courageous step of asking for help. A donor lights the next step through generous giving. A volunteer lights the next step by offering their time. A business partner lights the next step by creating opportunities.
This year’s 7th Annual Night of Light Gala celebrates a simple but powerful truth: lasting change happens one step at a time. Join us for an unforgettable evening, because when each of us lights the next step, together we illuminate the path home.

A Night to Remember
An Evening of Hope, Together
Every year, sponsors, volunteers, community leaders, and friends of Cece’s Hope Center fill the room for an evening of dinner, celebration, and generosity, all in support of the women we serve.
From the moment the doors open to the final paddle raise, Night of Light is an evening of connection and purpose. Come see why our guests return year after year, and leave knowing the difference one night can make.
