Festival of Lights

For 9 years, Rotary has lit up downtown Mississauga during the holidays

Companies sponsor a tree and Rotary lights it up and hangs a

plaque for approx. 8 weeks

There are 13 indoor trees and a handful of outdoor trees to be placed around the Living Arts Centre

They have raised up to $10,000 for their club!

Festival of Lights

This year… Rotary has given us the opportunity to take on the project as our main fundraiser for the year

This is a BIG opportunity!

The commitment?

Sponsorship: get corporate sponsors, many that will come on

again from previous years

Set up: light all the trees in late November – need a team of 20-30

Reception: for the sponsors around the holidays (TBD)

Take down: in mid-January

Festival of Lights - Costs

We already have all of the lights and indoor trees (and of course, the outdoor trees)

Printing costs (nominal)
