As part of our commitment to philanthropy, TarValon.Net, Inc. hosts an annual Feast of Lights charity drive during the holiday season. In the spirit of giving, we select an outside charitable organization with a cause that resonates with the Wheel of Time community. Participation is open to anyone interested, and is not limited to TarValon.Net, Inc. members.
Feast of Lights is our annual winter drive that benefits an outside charity. Money is usually collected during the month of December which goes towards a chosen nonprofit organization. This external event is our biggest regular external monetary philanthropic program.
In the past, Feast of Lights has also benefited individual members of the site (sometimes referred to as "Santa Projects"). Internal drives such as these are now considered part of the Helping Hands program. Feast of Lights is now targeted at helping others outside of our community.
Feast of Lights is our biggest external charity drive. Run every year during the holiday season, members donate money to benefit an outside charity. The charity TarValon.Net, Inc. sponsors changes from year to year.
Each year around the Feast of Lights, TarValon.Net honors the charitable spirit of the holidays by sponsoring a charity that makes a difference in our world community. This year we're proud to announce our support of "Doctors Without Borders", an exceptional international organization that brings medical care to those who most desperately need it. This emergency aid is provided by volunteer medical professionals who risk their lives to help those affected by war, disease, and disaster. The organization was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
