HELP SUPPORT THE BRIGHTON HOLIDAY LIGHTS

BRIGHTON DDA SEEKS DONATIONS TO HELP EXPAND HOLIDAY LIGHTS

The Brighton Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is calling out to the community to help with the holiday lights for upcoming season. The Holiday Lights 2020 campaign is intended to assist in raising funds to cover the cost of installing the holiday lights. At a minimum, the DDA’s goal is to cover the Millpond area in holiday lights (the same as in years past). However, if enough money can be raised, the lights will be expanded to other areas of the City.

On Thursday, the fundraising campaign was officially kicked off when the Brighton Optimist Club submitted the first donation. “During this strange year, when physical distancing between people is important for health and safety, the holiday lights represent just the slightest return to normalcy. We appreciate this donation to our community campaign at a time when spirts are in need of a lift” said DDA Secretary and Community Engagement Chair Lisa Nelson.

Management/DDA Assistant Henry Outlaw echoed the sentiment that community is more important now than ever, “the DDA is working to bridge the gap between our businesses and the community. In Brighton we’re all neighbors – businesses and residents alike. If we can all work together to make this holiday a little brighter, that’s good for everyone” stated DDA Assistant Henry Outlaw.

For those who want to join in the community campaign to support this holiday tradition, there are five giving levels: $10, $50, $100, $250, and $500+. Each giving level has a corresponding Thank You reward with the highest reward being the listing of your name or your organization’s name on the top level of a large thank you sign to be placed on Old Town Hall, on the City’s cable channel, and on the DDA’s Facebook. In addition, all donations of $250 or more will receive a thank you letter from DDA chair Tim Corrigan, as well as, Brighton Mayor Shawn Pipoly.
