A VIDEO MESSAGE ABOUT ILLUMI-NITE
WHAT IS ILLUMI-NITE?
ILLUMI-NITE is our annual service initiative and a simple, meaningful way to show up for others. Participants sign up to receive a FREE ILLUMI-NITE kit(s), then team up with friends, family, classmates or a small group and choose someone in their community to surprise with luminaries and handwritten notes of encouragement.
On the first Sunday in December, participants go into their neighborhoods and light the night- delivering hope, light and the KEEPGOING 25 message. If needed, groups may choose an alternate evening in December.
Whether that person is celebrating a joyful milestone (birth, graduation, recovery) or walking through something hard (illness, grief, loss), this small act of kindness sends a powerful message: You are seen, you are loved and we KEEPGOING together.
HOW ILLUMI-NITE WORKS
1. SIGN UP
to receive your FREE ILLUMI-NITE kit(s).
2. CHOOSE YOUR RECIPIENT(S)
someone in your community who would
appreciate the KEEPGOING 25 message.
3. ILLUMI-NITE
on December 6th, 2026. If needed groups can choose an alternative night in December.
If in the Cincinnati area, kit pick up information will be emailed, otherwise kits will be shipped for FREE in November.
