Every child has a song inside them waiting to be heard.

This Giving Tuesday, we're gathering to celebrate God's gifts through the talents of our children, students, and neighbors—and to practice the kind of heartfelt giving that lifts up those who need it most.

Holiday Benefit Concert

Watch as local musicians and performers--including the students and teachers from LILLY Learning Center and Prelude Academy--share their gifts on stage. From soloists and dance troupes to bands and show-choirs—youth to adult—these performances are more than entertainment. This concert is a testament to the ways artistic expression can bring a community together--all the while, it highlights our young artists' raw talent and honors their dedication to practice and steady growth.

Every song matters. Every voice counts. Art is a voice that speaks without words, and on this special evening, we'll witness how, when gathered together to celebrate our community's gifts, even the smallest light can push back the darkness to spread hope this holiday season.

Kids Art Gallery Walk

Wander through a gallery filled with original paintings and creations made entirely by LILLY students. Each piece tells a story that might not fit into words but absolutely deserves to be seen. You'll witness honest, unfiltered expression—the kind that happens when kids are given space to create without limits and are believed in without conditions.

Kids in Biz Holiday Market

LILLY's young student entrepreneurs have spent the semester dreaming up, designing, and crafting unique gifts you won't find anywhere else. From handmade ornaments to original art pieces, every item carries the mark of a child's imagination and determination. Shop for meaningful holiday gifts while supporting students building real-world skills, confidence, and an entrepreneurial spirit that will serve them for life.

Night of Light is more than an event. It's an evening where we spread light, support local artists and businesses, and practice the kind of generosity that uplifts children in our community during the holiday season. We hope to see you there!

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance or at the door.
