Annual Celebration: Known and Loved

2026 Annual Celebration: Known & Loved

On October 16, the Faith In Practice family gathered for our 2026 Known & Loved Annual Celebration, marking 32 years of bringing life-changing healthcare to the people of Guatemala.

It was a wonderful evening made even more meaningful by the generosity of our supporters, who helped us raise an incredible $1.13 million in support of our mission!

We were especially honored to recognize the Profession of Orthopaedic Surgery and Free Wheelchair Mission for their contributions to restoring mobility, independence, and hope. A special thank you also goes to our Event Chairs, Dr. Mike and Julie Berend, and Co-Chairs, Norman and Donna Lewis, for helping make the evening such a success.

To everyone who joined us, supported the event, or helped make it possible, thank you! Your generosity continues to make a difference in the lives of patients and families across Guatemala.

Take a look back at some of our favorite moments from this special evening!
