Feast of LightsFeast 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. Past recipients include Doctors Without Borders, Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanity, Good Will, and Heifer International. Our 2009 Feast of Lights drive raised almost $2,500 for Doctors Without Borders. Our 2010 Feast of Lights drive, held for Susan G. Komen for the Cure in memory of Tricia Erickson, a member of TarValon.Net, Inc. who passed away in summer 2010, raised over $3,000. Information on the drive is available here, and a list of prize winners is available here. For more information on Feast of Lights and other Philanthropy activities, see our Membership Manual. |
