We've been grinched - Help replace cords

Donation protected
The Grinch Hates Christmas....He thinks by taking electrical cords the Lions Festival of Lights will be dark in 2021.  Boy is he wrong!

The Lions Festival of Lights in Calgary, Alberta recently discovered that over $10,000 of electrical cords has been stolen from their storage shed.   With a display that covers three holes of a golf course you can imagine how many electrical cords it takes to put it all together!   The Lions estimate over 1 km of cords were taken.   With your support we can replace the cords and make sure to bring the Christmas Lights and spirit back for 2021.

Watch the Global news story on the theft here .

History:
The Lions Festival of Lights was started in 1987 in the Confederation Park Golf Course.  The first display was Merry Christmas written in 15 languages and a display on scaffolding.   It has expanded into a display with over 500,000 lights and became an annual tradition for many families to walk through the multiple light displays.

What your support will be used for:
The Lions Festival of Lights has had over $10,000 of electrical cords stolen from their storage shed along with accompanying damage to the fence and building.   Funds raised will be used to replace the 1+ kilometre of cords taken.

How will this help?
This loss is a significant blow to the Lions Festival of Lights.  This will help the Lions replace the cords and help get the lights up for 2021.

Thank you for your support!  Every dollar makes a difference!
