2015 Sparkle Youngstown Campaign

For the past several years, Youngstown CityScape and other downtown stakeholders have taken the lead in helping organize the annual Youngstown Holiday Parade & Christmas Tree Lighting in downtown Youngstown.

This collaboration has resulted in the return of a great annual event which is enjoyed by folks of all ages from throughout the Mahoning Valley.

While the lighting of the Christmas Tree has always been a favorite annual tradition, the expansion of lighting throughout the rest of Central Square - a campaign titled 'Sparkle Youngstown' which begins in December, runs through February and involves the installation of 50,000 individual lights - has also grown in popularity.

However, like with most projects of this nature, they require funding.

Youngstown CityScape is setting a fundraising goal of $10,000 for this year's campaign.

With your help, we can continue to provide a warm welcome to those visiting our downtown through some of our coldest winter months.

For every donation of $25 or more, you or a designee's name will be added to a donor appreciation sign which will be posted in Central Square when the lights are installed.  All donations are tax-deductable.

It's a great holiday gift for a friend or family member that will make a positive visual impact in downtown Youngstown.

Thanks for your help!
