Oct 4, 2026 update:

We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support our second annual Chosen To Shine Gala last night! Your presence, generosity, prayers, and servant hearts mean more than you know. Chosen to Shine hosted an evening of dinner and music on Oct 3, 2026 to raise funds for Phase II construction of a church in Honduras. The event was from 6-10 pm, and included dinner, music, dancing, and a silent auction. See below for updates. A special thank you to everyone who bid on auction items and made donations toward water filters and the second phase of the church we are building in Honduras. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the people we are blessed to serve.

July 2026 update:

Chosen to Shine's goal is to raise $30,000 by Oct 30, 2026 to fund the next phase of the construction of a permanent church for a community in Honduras. This space will provide a place for worship, support, and spiritual growth for generations to come. Every donation helps make this vision a reality. Join us in creating a lasting home for faith and community!:

Thank you everyone for supporting Chosen to Shine! We met our goal last year during our first gala. We raised $30,000 from combined ticket sales, donations, auction sales, and our event sponsors, allowing us to begin Phase 1 in January of 2026.
