Light the Darkness

Winter 2009-10 Grassroots Events to Benefit KITH

WHAT IS LIGHT THE DARKNESS?

LIGHT THE DARKNESS is a grassroots, community effort to help those facing the crisis of homelessness by raising both awareness and funds at benefit events held by Community Leaders.

WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN?

Community Leaders sign up to host an event of their choice between December 10^th and January 10^th.  Each leader commits to a $100 donation to KITH when they sign up, to invite at least 9 of their friends to donate to KITH at the event, and to send photos from the event to KITH with the donations they collect.  From December 10, 2009 – January 10, 2010, Community Leaders host benefit events of their choosing. It might be a bike ride followed by breakfast, a fancy sit-down dinner, a ferry ride, a tailgating party before their favorite team’s game, a cocktail hour, or a Sudoku-thon … the sky’s the limit!  The only stipulations are: (1) the event happens by Jan 10^th, 2010, (2) at least 9 guests attend, and (3) each guest joins the host and makes a donation to KITH, supporting our mission to help those facing homelessness.  See what kind of an impact your group can make.  Have fun with a purpose!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE EVENTS?

From Jan 11^th - Jan 12^th, each Community Leader brings in or mails to KITH the donations and any comments from their guests, and brings or emails photos from their event to KITH. Photos will be posted on KITH’s new Facebook page, which will go “live” on February 1, 2010.

HOW WILL WE CELEBRATE THE SUCCESS OF LIGHT THE DARKNESS?

On Groundhog Day, February 2, 2010, Community Leader event hosts will be invited to gather with a guest, KITH Staff and KITH’s Board of Directors for Happy Hour from 5-7 PM.  Photos from the events will be shown and results will be announced!
