Suicide Awareness & Prevention Sessions with Kevin Hines
2019-10-28 | Roland Fine Arts Center, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal, 63401, United States
Kevin Hines is a mental health advocate, global speaker, best-selling author, documentary filmmaker and entrepreneur who reaches audiences around the world with his story of an unlikely survival and his strong will to live.
Two years after Hines was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19, he attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Hines is one of only 34 — less than one percent — to survive the fall, and he is the only Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor who is actively spreading his message around the globe about living mentally healthy.
Event coordinators are tri-state residents, Amanda Hays and Jessica Baker, who are committed to providing insight and assistance about suicide awareness and prevention. Hays was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression which led her to plan her own suicide. She went through treatment and therapy to overcome those struggles.
Hays’ goal is to use her story to help others in the area with similar suicide tendencies. “I don’t think there’s any person anywhere that isn’t somehow effected by mental health or suicide. We have to realize these are life and death situations,” Hays said. Jessica Baker with Preferred Family Healthcare said she hopes this event helps people in the community ask for help when they need it.
Kevin Hines shares his story of hope and celebration of life Monday, October 28, in the Roland Fine Arts Center on the campus of Hannibal-LaGrange University, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal.
There are three free sessions:

9am – Noon
1:30pm – 4:30pm (this session is full/registration is closed)
6 – 9pm

Seating is limited. Register at https://jbaker2019.wufoo.com/forms/z1y7h8ky1s2rvmg/

Along with workshops, attendees will enjoy worship from HLGU’s ministry team, Praise Song. Youth conference attendees are encouraged to bring their instruments if easily transported.
“Young Guy” Andy Rhea says, “Come to learn where we’ve come from, where we are now, and where we are going in worship ministry for the church.”

The Hannibal-LaGrange University Theatre Department will be presenting three performances of the Hart and Kaufman comedy You Can’t Take It with You November 14-16 in the Parker Theatre of the Roland Fine Arts Center.
You Can’t Take It with You is a charming comedy centered around the Vanderhof family.

The two families come together as Tony brings his family over to dine with Alice’s family, and chaos ensues. This heartfelt tale is sure to bring joy and laughter to all audiences.

Booster Banquet with Pam Tebow
2019-11-22 19:00 - 21:30 | Mabee Sports Complex
Hannibal-LaGrange University announced Pam Tebow as the keynote speaker for the 78th Annual Booster Banquet. The banquet will be held Friday, November 22, at 7 pm. Tickets for the banquet will be available for purchase on September 1.
Pam Tebow is the mother of Tim Tebow, famous NFL quarterback. Pam’s notoriety increased when Tim, then quarterback for the Florida Gators, became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. During the nationally televised Heisman broadcast, ESPN aired a portion of an interview that focused on her refusal to abort Tim when she was advised to do so. She was given an instant national platform to encourage the prolife message.
Pam is passionate about encouraging people of all ages to trust the Lord with all their hearts for all their lives and use the incredible influence God has given them to eternally impact their world. This is the subject of her first book Ripple Effects, to be released Mother’s Day 2019.
