the 14th annual ball homes night of hope

Since 2009, the Ball Home Night of Hope has been the premier event of the year for the Hope Center. We are excited to invite supporters of the Hope Center to pack the Lexington Opera House for the 14th annual Ball Homes Night of Hope on Thursday, October 27.

We are excited to hear from our featured speakers, Randy and Lydia Grimes. Randy Grimes is a Baylor University graduate and an award-winning 10-year veteran of the NFL who crawled on his hands and knees into treatment for an opioid addiction that developed while treating career-related injuries. He is the founder of Professional Athletes in Recovery and recently released his first book in January 22, titled Off Centerx. Randy’s wife, Lydia, is a Certified Family Addiction Coach. Today Randy and Lydia stage drug and alcohol interventions for professional athletes, celebrities, business leaders, and everyday Americans to find recovery from addiction. People in recovery commonly recite their “rock-bottom” story; the moment in their addiction that they hit their lowest point ever and realized they had to turn their life around or die. Randy and Lydia share their rock-bottom story with gut-wrenching honesty, humility, humor, and HOPE.

As demonstrated by our speakers, there is a ripple effect of recovery as it touches the family and friends of those experiencing it. We look forward to highlighting this theme at the Ball Homes Night of Hope this year as we share the inspiring and emotional stories of our alumni and their loved ones. 

We invite you to join us for this special night on October 27 at 7 pm! Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased online here or over the phone at 859-721-0144.
