Light Up the Night & Great Raffle Happening This Saturday

light up the night 2015

If you have the fortune to be on island this Saturday, there is a very special event we’d like for you to attend. It’s called Light Up the Night and it’s an event near and dear to many of our hearts here on St. John.

Light Up the Night is an event sponsored by the St. John Cancer Fund. What makes this organization extraordinary is that 100 percent of the funds it raises stay right here on island and are used to help and support our residents who have cancer.

The event kicks off at 3:30 p.m. at Mongoose Junction where many of St. John’s schoolchildren will lead a parade through Cruz Bay and to the Winston Wells Ball Field alongside a crop of local musicians and bands. Once they arrive, those in attendance will begin walking around the field. The walk will continue overnight until 8 a.m. in the morning. You can stop by and walk for five minutes, an hour or even all night … the choice is up to you.

At 8 p.m., the luminary ceremony will begin. This is a moment that we can all remember and support our friends and family who have or are currently battling cancer. At 8:30 p.m., a survivors walk will begin. Music and food will be offered throughout this 18-hour event.

If you’d like to purchase a luminary for the event, you can do so today at Skinny Legs in Coral Bay between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., tomorrow at the first floor of the Marketplace from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and anytime at Connections in Cruz Bay. If you would like to add your picture or a picture of a loved one to the Luminary Wall, you can email it to [email protected].
