- Live jazz and blues performances that pay tribute to the music that defined an era

- Silent and live auctions featuring exclusive experiences and local treasures
- Impact – be a part of the story, providing hope, stability, and dignity for neighbors in need.
Funds raised from the Rent Party will support Lighthouse’s essential housing and shelter programs. Our 2026 goal is to raise $370,000 – your generosity helps families and individuals find, and keep, a safe, stable place to call home.
With your help, Lighthouse provides emergency shelter for neighbors facing homelessness, affordable housing developments in Oakland County, and supportive services to help break the cycle of poverty.
