The Hope and Renewal of life through the visualization of beautiful lanterns rising into the night sky! In Honor of someone you love, In memory of a lost loved one, someone fighting addiction, children and adults fighting horrible diseases, showing someone they are not alone in this fight. God will give you a Second Chance! This all started because of a sweet boy named Chance who's 2 years old, terminally ill and is fighting a HUGE battle called Walker Warburg Syndrome.
We are hoping this Fundraiser not only will be a big success but ultimately so many will feel renewed from the love and support of our amazing community! No One Fights Alone! 
This event was approved through all officials and we are working closely with our local fire department to ensure the safety of our citizens and community. ** These Lanterns will be tethered!**
