Young Building Professionals Raise Funds for Lighthouse

The Home Builders Association of Lincoln’s Young Building Professionals (YBP; www.hbal.org) Council held its 2nd annual Light the Way 5K at Holmes Park on June 23. Over 80 runners participated in the race which raised over $2,000 for the Lighthouse After-School Program. Cash prizes were awarded to the first- and second-place winners in both men’s and women’s categories in the 5K fun run. Gift cards were awarded to the top two winners in the kid’s 1-mile fun run.

The Lighthouse After-School Program offers middle and high school aged-youth academic support, evening meals and enrichment/recreational activities during non-school hours, Monday through Friday, twelve months a year. The YBP Council began their partnership with the Lighthouse in 2017 through a variety of events including an ice cream social and game night. They also worked side-by-side with the students on property improvements and other building-related projects.
