TURN ON THE LIGHT
Our signature annual event.
Every spring at our Turn on the Light event, we unite as a community and reflect on the progress we are making together in the fight to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children and shed light on the work still ahead.

This powerful night allows us to raise vital funds needed to support our programming and the young people we care about so much.

This Year's Honoree
At our 2025 Turn on the Light event, we will be celebrating our incredible Co-Founder Lisa Goldblatt Grace who led My Life My Choice for 22 years. Each year, we typically honor one local and one national leader who has made an impact in the fight to end exploitation. Past years have included notable figures from U.S. Attorneys to filmmakers to prominent survivor-advocates. Lisa is a pioneer locally and nationally and we are thrilled to recognize her work and legacy in this way.
