Lighthouse NW to host ‘Celebrate 2025’ fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 18 in Des Moines

Lighthouse NW will host its annual Celebrate 2025 fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025 at the Des Moines Beach Park Auditorium, with proceeds supporting survivors of domestic abuse.

The evening runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and will feature live music, drinks, and an Italian dinner.

Organizers said the event will also include personal stories from survivors, highlighting Lighthouse NW’s mission to break the cycle of abuse.

Tickets are $40 per person or $400 for a table, with registration available online at Lighthouse NW’s Celebrate page. A raffle for a cabin retreat near Mt. Rainier will also be held, and an online auction will open Sept. 26, closing during the event. Items and experiences will be available for bidding at celebrate2025.cbo.io.

According to Lighthouse NW, one in three women experience domestic abuse. The organization said the annual Celebrate event provides critical funding to continue its outreach, housing, and support services for survivors.

The nonprofit said funds raised at Celebrate 2025 will go directly toward helping women and children escape abuse and build safe futures.

“Your generosity fuels healing and new beginnings,” Lighthouse NW said.
