Dear Daybreak Friends,

You are warmly invited to join us for Daybreak’s Annual Spring Dinner on Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 6p.m. to 8 p.m. at Seawell’s in Columbia.

This evening is an opportunity to come together to reflect on all that God is doing through Daybreak LifeCare Center and to look ahead to how we can continue serving women and men in Columbia and the surrounding communities who are facing unexpected pregnancies.

This year’s theme, The Joy of the Lord is Our Strength, will shape an evening marked by meaningful client and volunteer testimonials, a joyful celebration of Daybreak’s 43 years of service to the Midlands, and a keynote address from Tonya Bailey Jones.

Tonya will bring a Christ-centered message focused on serving with joy—encouraging each of us in how we love, support, and walk alongside others with compassion and purpose.

As we look ahead to this evening, here is what Tonya hopes each guest will carry with them:

“I hope our dinner guests leave with a renewed passion to partner with Daybreak Center in meaningful ways — through serving, praying, and giving.

But more than that, I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that every act of service matters. Every prayer matters. Every dollar given matters. Every compassionate conversation matters.

And I hope they leave filled with joy — the kind that strengthens them to continue showing up for life…for healing…for serving!”

At this year’s event, churches, businesses, organizations, and groups of friends are invited to sponsor 8-seat tables and gather for an evening of fellowship. Five levels of sponsorship are available:

Not part of a table? Individual registration is available for $65—we’d love to have you join us.
