The Lighthouse is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and is funded through generous donations from our retreat volunteers and thousands of other financial supporters. Every donation makes it possible for The Lighthouse to live out our mission to serve children with cancer and their families and help them to laugh, restore family relationships and find hope in God.
You can choose to Donate Online or read below for some specific ways to give to The Lighthouse.

The Lighthouse is seeking individuals or organizations (schools, sports teams, churches, small groups, corporations, etc.) to sponsor families for the retreat season.

Donate My Beach Home for a Retreat
Many homeowners have supported The Lighthouse by discounting or donating the use of their beach property. If you own a vacation home or know someone that does along the beach communities of 30-A in Florida, The Lighthouse is seeking homeowners who are willing to donate or discount their home in the Florida communities of Seaside, Watercolor, Rosemary, Gulf Trace and Grayton Beach for our 2007 retreat season. Call Katie at 678.290.2955 or email katie@lighthousefamilyretreat.org if you are interested in making a donation that will greatly enrich the family and volunteer retreat experience.
