For over a decade our Light a Fire awards have honored the special people in our community who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. They are the unsung champions of giving who see a need, roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Please tune in on Thursday, December 2 as we once again set the spotlight on champions of hope. The inspiring virtual event will feature a touching awards ceremony hosted by actor and philanthropist James Naughton with speeches from each of our honorees.
