NightLights
Take a child out of the darkness of abuse
Tree Lighting Celebration | Sunday, December 1, 2019 | 6 - 7pm
First Presbyterian Church, 531 S. College Ave, Fort Collins
Every holiday season the big blue NightLights tree located in the courtyard at First Presbyterian Church, on the corner of Mulberry & College in Fort Collins, lights up the night bringing awareness to the issues of child abuse and neglect and letting the children impacted know they are not alone.
In addition to lighting the tree on December 1st and raising awareness of the issues of child abuse, NightLights is the largest fundraising campaign of Realities For Children, running from November 1 thru December 31 each year. The goal for the 2019 campaign is an ambitious $250,000, 100% of which will go directly to meeting the needs of children in our community who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk.
This year, we'll be kicking off Realities For Children's 25th Anniversary at the NightLights Tree Lighting with a BRAND NEW NightLights Tree. You won't want to miss it!
Join Us to Light the NightLights tree
