Realities For Children Shines Light on the Darkness of Child Abuse

The members of Realities For Children invite you to join the 12th Annual NightLights' celebration! This FREE community tree lighting ceremony features the lighting of the one-of-a-kind 50 foot tall NightLights tree, featuring 25,000 LED lights, animated to music - in honor of abused and at-risk children in Northern Colorado. Please join us on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 6-7pm in the front lawn of First Presbyterian Church, 531 South College Avenue in Fort Collins, as we light up the night, featuring: live musical performances, Qdoba Mexican Grill soup, holiday treats warm cider, hot cocoa, the drawing for the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory 33 pound chocolate Santa and special appearances by Larimer County's youth agencies.

You can help take a child out of the darkness of child abuse. Realities For Children invites businesses, families and individuals to sponsor a light on the NightLights' Tree. Tree lights are $100 each and those who donate $1,000 or more will be recognized as Star Sponsors. Single light tree light sponsors receive recognition in the event night program and on GiveaNightLight.com. Two light sponsors and above, receive marketing benefits in the venues listed above in addition to eight local newsprint publications and in thank you letters sent to all Premier NightLight sponsors. All donations provide for abused and neglected children in Larimer County. Proceeds from NightLights will serve over 1,000 children this December and more than a dozen children’s agencies in 2010. Please help us ensure that one of our community's children is not forgotten. Give a NightLight.

In 2008, NightLights raised more than $50,000 for abused, neglected and at-risk children in Larimer County. This year, with your help and the support of our Champions for Children, we hope to exceed that number, as agencies are reporting high incidences of child abuse, needs are greater than ever and funding resources and donor dollars are down tremendously.

The NightLights Fund is a component fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, a 501(c)3 charitable organization. 100% of tree light sponsorships help children in need in Larimer County.
