Our first year of collecting Holiday Light Strings was great! We collected nearly three tons of lights and were able to present two local families with a check to help with their expenses.
Our second season collection was fantastic! We collected over eighteen tons of string lights and were proud to be able to present three more families that have a child with Cancer, a check in the amount of $2500!
Our third season collection resulted in over twenty-three tons of lights for recycling! Three more families have joined our Lights for Life family!
Remember, your old light strings can help make life a lot better for some very special children.
