We Survive celebrated their 25th Anniversary on November 2, during LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited’s CELEBRATION of HOPE.
People were out and about around the globe
LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited keeps us UNITED.
*GO LIGHT YOUR WORLD was the theme for LIGHTFEST Reignited held at St. Augustine Catholic Church on a brisk, bright Autumn Saturday.
Education and awareness was provided for attendees on the issues facing those vulnerable to poverty, hunger and homelessness while participating in various activities including health and wellness activities.
There was a diverse group of participants involved in this event.
Heartfelt appreciation to Joni Jenkins and the House of Representatives – Commonwealth of Kentucky for the Citation Honoring and Commemorating We Survive and LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited in Louisville, KY – “offering sincere congratulations to all those associated with LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited upon this notable occasion and in extending best wishes for the future success and good fortune of this community event.”
