Powering Chicago Kicks Off Holiday Lights Campaign |
|
As the presenting sponsor for the City of Chicago’s Christmas Tree in Millennium Park, Powering Chicago knows how much a stunning holiday lights display can fill all who see it with holiday spirit. That’s why this holiday season, we’re once more asking our communities to submit photos of their own holiday lights displays during the Powering Chicago’s Holidays campaign. New this year is our partnership with Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC) families. As part of this partnership, Stephanie Love-Patterson, CAWC’s executive director, joined Powering Chicago to flip the switch at the City of Chicago’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 19.
From November 30 through December 21, we’re asking anyone with a holiday lights display they’re proud of to take a picture, post it on social media and include the hashtags #HolidayLightsChi and #LightsForCAWC. Throughout the month, we’ll share the photos on Powering Chicago’s social media feeds and tag CAWC to encourage donations in support of their important mission.
