On October 21, 2023, we will be hosting our 11th Annual Be the Light Gala Fundraiser at the beautiful Mount Vernon Canyon Club, which will include a silent auction, live auction, dinner, games, and the chance to hear from a Night Lights family. This is an opportunity for you to join forces with Night Lights, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, to provide parents and caregivers who have children with special needs the much-needed break they deserve.  Our goal this year is to raise $100,000. The funds raised from sponsorships and donations allows us to continue filling the gap of respite care for caregivers as well as expanding to additional parts of the Denver Metro area. To meet the demand of respite care, we estimate that it will cost $224,000 to establish 25 new locations, train staff, run background checks, provide supplies, pay nursing stipends, insurance, and the cost of CPR training for the leadership team.
