Light a Fire Awards

For over a decade our Light a Fire awards have honored the special people in our community who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. They are the unsung champions of giving who see a need, roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Our November 2024 issue we will once again honor the philanthropic work of our friends and neighbors, but we need your help!

Event Date: December 4th 6-9 pm
