10th Annual Karly's Tree of Lights

Celebrating the 10th Annual Karly’s Tree of Lights! 

It’s hard to believe this is the 10th year of Karly’s Tree of Lights! When we first started this fundraiser in her memory, we never imagined it would grow beyond our family and friends, but each year it has continued to shine brighter and touch more lives.

Last year we exceeded our goal and welcomed many new donors, a beautiful reflection of how Karly’s light continues to inspire generosity and kindness.

We’re so proud to continue supporting the good work of Valley Outreach, helping meet the basic needs of our neighbors and community. We would love for you to join us again this year as we celebrate a decade of light, love, and community — proving just how much we can do together.

During the holidays, Karly was especially concerned about children and others with special needs not having enough to eat. In the last couple of years of her life, she encouraged family and friends to give wherever they could. We keep that spirit alive in our family, this tradition, and in all the friends who’ve joined us along the way.

Karly’s Tree of Lights will once again shine on our front porch December 1–31. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating 10 years of kindness by donating to Valley Outreach this December.

With deep appreciation and gratitude,

Lois, Gregg, Leah, and best pup, Zoe
