✨ As we wrap up Light Up The Night, our hearts are full. 💙

This event has always been about more than just lights, it’s about community, compassion, and coming together to support children and families right here in Mecosta and Osceola counties.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible food vendors who made this night so special. Your flavors brought comfort. Your presence brought joy. And your generosity reminded us all what community support truly tastes like. 🍽️💫

We encourage everyone to remember these amazing businesses during the holiday season. Visit them. Support them. Share their stories. Let’s show up for them like they show up for us, time and time again.

Cranker's Brewery
Three Girls Bakery
Nawal's Mediterranean Grille, Gourmet Cupcakes and Desserts
St. Ives Grille
Antlers Fireside Grill
CL Pizza Co.
Royal Grille

Because when we support local, we do more than shop, we spread love. 💛
And that’s what Light Up The Night has always been about.

Thank you for helping us make this final celebration unforgettable. Together, we keep the light shining. 💡

✨ What a night to remember. ✨

We’re still feeling the joy, energy, and incredible generosity that filled the room at Light Up The Night 2025 and we can’t say thank you enough.

From the very first welcome to the final auction paddle raised, this event was powered by one thing: love in action. 💙

To our guests; thank you for showing up with open hearts and a spirit of giving.
To our vendors; thank you for sharing your talents and making every bite, sip, and sound unforgettable.
To our sponsors and donors; thank you for investing in something bigger than all of us: a future where every child has what they need to thrive.
To our volunteers; thank you for the hands, hearts, and hard work that made this night shine.

We’re thrilled to share that together, we raised $50,000! 🎉

Every single dollar will go directly toward Angels of Action programs! Helping provide food, clothing, hygiene essentials, books, and more to local children and families in Mecosta and Osceola counties.

💫 Because of you, a child will head into the weekend with a full belly.
💫 A student will open their very own book and begin to fall in love with reading.
💫 A family will feel warmth, dignity, and relief during Michigan’s coldest months.

This wasn’t just an event. It was a celebration of what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose and heart.

Thank you for being part of the magic. Thank you for lighting up the night and lighting the way for so many little lives.

Until next year!💙

We are thrilled to announce the winners of our Passport to Paradise Raffle!
✨Tessa and Xavier Frank ✨
You’re headed on a 5-night all-inclusive getaway for two, complete with $500 spending money, and two whole years to plan your dream trip! 🌴☀️

But the real celebration goes far beyond one lucky ticket. 💛

Because of everyone who purchased a raffle ticket, hundreds of local children will now have food for the weekends. Meals they can count on, smiles that return, and the comfort of knowing someone cares.

Each ticket didn’t just represent a chance to win; it represented 20 children fed, 20 weekends filled with nourishment and hope, and a ripple of kindness that stretches far beyond the gala. 💙

To everyone who helped Light Up The Night by purchasing a raffle ticket, thank you!
You’ve shown what community looks like when it comes together for our kids.

Thank you for lighting up lives. 🌟

💙 A Huge Thank You to Chuck Ames at Century 21 White House Realty 💙

Every year, when it’s time to haul, load, and move the heaviest pieces of what makes our events run smoothly, Chuck Ames is there.

Chuck generously lets us use his trailer at the Castle (year after year!), and he’s always the first to step up when there’s something big to move, something heavy to lift, or somewhere we need to be. Rain or shine, Chuck shows up with a smile, ready to lend a hand. Not for the spotlight, but simply because he cares.

His time, his effort, and his heart help us serve hundreds of families every season. While you may not always see him in the photos, his impact is felt in every packed meal, every warm coat, every child served.

💪 Thank you, Chuck, for being one of our heroes! Because of you, kids in our community are thriving. 💙

A huge thank-you to Neil & Danielle Maneke for letting us use your tables for the event. Your generosity helped transform our space into something truly beautiful.

It’s neighbors like you who remind us what community is all about; showing up, lending a hand, and making big things possible for local kids and families. 💙

We’re so grateful to have you in our corner!

🌙What a moonlit masterpiece of a night!!🌙

Thank you to every guest, sponsor, chef & food vendor, auction donor, and volunteer who made Light Up The Night 2025: Moonlight Masquerade a night to remember. ❤️

The castle was filled with heart, hope and community spirit and because of you, hundreds of children in Mecosta & Osceola Counties will experience brighter futures.💫

From the dazzling masks to the incredible food and music, the energy inside the castle was magical. 🪄
