We’re celebrating our 20th anniversary! Learn about fun facts, interesting stories, and how this event came to be.
Each sponsor has given in a special way to the Holiday Lights event. All monetary donations go directly back to Helping Services for Youth & Families to fund programs in Northeast Iowa. The 2024 list of supporters will be updated as soon as we receive current information. Until then, we sincerely appreciate those who supported us last year!
