The Mall at Wellington Green hosted the second annual Lights 4 Hope Family Holiday Event in the mall’s community studio on Sunday, Dec. 10. This event is created for the amazing families that Lights 4 Hope helps, to come to a safe environment where the children can have fun, dance, make crafts, shop around for toys, and enjoy lunch and treats with all of their family members.
At the end of the event, the organization presents each family with many gifts for all the family members, which help bring some joy and relief to their holidays.
The organization is able to create this event for these families coping with the worst of tragedies with the help of the community, sponsors and the six-week Holiday Drive-Thru Light Show at Okeeheelee Park, which is continuing until Saturday, Dec. 30.
The volunteers that helped create the fun are from the Wellington Volleyball Academy.
Lights 4 Hope’s mission is to spread happiness and joy year-round to families coping with their child’s terminal illness or life-changing physical changes. Proceeds from the holiday show, fundraising events and sponsorships go right back to these incredible, local families.
