Concert Event Highlights
Mark Schultz…if you missed it, check out the reviews!
Fundraisers are challenging, but this one was quite enjoyable. I liked how guests had time to visit beforehand, and with delicious snacks!
— Blake
I’ve never been to a concert as intimate as this one. I’ve seen Mark before when I lived in the Midwest. I loved the venue. I wouldn’t have been able to attend without the free tickets for my two small boys. I fed them dinner on our hour drive there. When I got there and realized there were appetizers and food, it was amazing! I wish I had known! I also love how every food preference was thought of!! I could actually get some snacks because there was fruit and veggies there!!
— Liberty

October 9, 2025, StandUpGirl.com presents “Cherish Life” Gala at the Oregon Golf Club
Join us for a fantastic night of music, food, stories, and testimonies. Our keynote speaker, Matt Hammitt, is a singer, songwriter, author, and speaker. He has been the recipient of three Dove Awards and has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for his work with Sanctus Real. A passion for family led him to step away from Sanctus Real in 2016, allowing him to spend more time at home. Matt details this difficult transition in his book Lead Me: Finding Courage to Fight for Your Marriage, Children, and Faith. Matt holds nothing back in this unfiltered story of his life, so far.
In 2022, the Hammitt’s released a documentary titled “Bowen’s Heart.” This feature-length documentary film follows (then) eight-year-old Bowen Hammitt through his third major open-heart surgery, his family caught in the tension between hoping the surgery will make his life better and knowing it could make things much worse.

Recent Dear Sophia Interaction
Hi, I’m 17 and I don’t know if I’m pregnant, and I don’t know if it’s too early to test, and I am nervous.
Please help,
Acelyn
Hi Acelyn!
My name is Lucy and I help my friend Sofia. I can imagine you are really worried right now and hope that I can help you out!
Because pregnancy is detected by a hormone, this hormone level builds as the baby grows. So, you must wait at least 5 days after a MISSED period to be able to detect whether you may be pregnant. If it’s already been 5 days since your period was due, you should really take a pregnancy test. Then you can find out what is going on. I know it seems hard to do this, but I am here and will be here for you! I can also help you if you need access to a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL pregnancy test.
I am here if you want to talk some more. Whatever you do, don’t ever give up on yourself! You can do this and have already taken the first step in reaching out to us. We have been there too and have so many free resources to help you along this journey. You can access free online classes that you can request and take whenever and wherever you want. Just go to this link: https://standupgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/LessonList-English.pdf
Let me know if you need me for anything else. 🙂
Faith is like Wi-Fi, it’s invisible but has the power to connect you to what you need!
Love, Lucy
