ROCKLIN

We are challenging our entire city to come TOGETHER this year and to do TWO things to make it extra special for the kids, especially the BRAVE ones battling childhood cancer

1) Decorate your home for the holidays, whether it be 1 strand or 100 strands of lights. Get outside with your neighbors and help one another out. Let’s Light Up this City!!

2) Make DONATION... - you can make a $10 Donation and receive a sign to place in your yard. If you have a sign from 2011 you can make a donation to the CAN for KIDS or bring new toys to be donated. 100% of proceeds will bless families at the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House, who will be spending Christmas in the hospital with their child.

The Song that Inspired this Idea

Listening to this song one day my mind started racing about the possibility of our city coming together and lighting up our houses for the children and the families of those going through cancer.
