HOPEx23: The Power in Finding Your Why
Presented by Centra Health
March 3, 2023 | Academy Historic Theatre
HOPEx23 is Lynchburg Beacon of Hope's 2nd annual live speaker event. The inaugural HOPEx in 2022 started a powerful conversation about the power of education to transform lives. HOPEx23 strives to continue that collective conversation while diving deeper into the power of finding your Why.
Mainstage speakers from Lynchburg and beyond will provide their own narratives surrounding their journey and life experiences to find their own Why. Lynchburg City School Alumni/Beacon of Hope Scholars will take the stage with powerful vignettes of their Why. Mark Spain, the emcee for the evening, will weave together the stories of hope and promise with our special guests and the musical stylings of Flat Five Jazz. HOPEx supports Lynchburg Beacon of Hope's college, certification, and career access programs to thousands of LCS students and families and the Stay Close, Go Far Scholarship, Virginia's first Promise Program of its kind.
