An Evening of Celebration
Let your light shine! Join Sunbeam Family Services in lighting the way for Central Oklahomans at the 11th annual Shine a Light event, with honorary chairs Gail and Gary Huneryager. Enjoy dinner, drinks, and inspiring stories of hope on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The reception begins at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 7 p.m. 

At Shine, we will also celebrate 2025 Aspire Award Recipient Dr. Manry Dunlap for her dedication to helping build brighter futures with all children and families in Central Oklahoma.   

Working together, we can “Shine a Light” on the needs of our community and help even more children and families find their light.
