A Mother's Heart Fundraising Gala
Restoration. Redemption. Resilience.
Join Sandhills Adult and Teen Challenge for an evening of hope and celebration as we honor the transformative power of a mother’s heart. Set against the beautiful backdrop of The Fair Barn, this Mother’s Day-themed gala is more than just a dinner—it is an investment in the lives of those seeking freedom from addiction.
Featured Keynote Speaker: Beverly Vance Aikins
We are deeply honored to welcome Beverly Vance Aikins as our keynote speaker. Her life story is a remarkable testament to the fact that “you are never too lost to be found.”
Known to millions through her son J.D. Vance’s memoir Hillbilly Elegy, Beverly’s true power lies in her own voice. After years of struggling with dependency, Beverly found her way to a life of faith, community, and lasting recovery. Today, she is a powerful advocate and mentor, reminding us all that family stories can be rewritten and that God breathes life into the places that once felt lost.
Come hear her message of courage, restoration, and the second chances that define the heart of recovery.
