Celebrating our 25th Anniversary

What does it look like to run hard and chase after a life of purpose? We are called to make aggressive decisions that fuel life change, go after people in our community, and break out of our comfort zone to meet God. Join us this week and look at the past 25 years to see all the great work God has done through us and where he is calling us to next.

We're giving away $2.5 million to nonprofits

What better way to celebrate our 25th anniversary and bless others.

One City for Recovery

Empowered through a community of generous givers, we're able to give away to partners like OneCity For Recovery who are doing the hard work of providing a lifeline for those struggling with addiction.

CityLink

In our 25th year, we're excited to highlight some of our partners who are doing amazing work in the community. One of those partners is CityLink Center, who are doing amazing work in Cincinnati and across the globe to combat poverty and to give every opportunity for folks who have been systematically disadvantaged to succeed.

OCEAN Programs

We're so grateful to be able to partner with our friends at OCEAN Programs who are doing incredible work to empower business owners to create incredible business to do great work and bless the world

Hope Force

Even when everything seems lost, there's still hope. We're so thankful our friends at Hope Force International who have shown up time and time again for those who have been affected by natural disasters.
