Give Kids the World announced Wednesday that it will discontinue hosting Night of a Million Lights at its Village in orderβto remain focused on our mission to create life-changing experiences for wish families.β
We're overjoyed that GKTW is back to operating at full capacity! To remain focused on our mission to create life-changing experiences for wish families, we've decided to discontinue hosting Night of a Million Lights at the Village. Thanks to everyone who made the event possible! pic.twitter.com/1NVbOxaDiY
The decision comes as Give Kids the World has resumed operating at full capacity again since the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
Night of a Million Lights started in 2020 and became the nonprofitβs largest fundraiser of the year. For the last two years, the Village was transformed into a twinkling, glowing, dazzling winter wonderland for several weeks during the holiday season, drawing thousands of spectators.
The 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit resort provides critically ill children and their families from around the world with magical weeklong wish vacations at no cost.
