Thank you for supporting another highly successful IBEW Holiday Lights in the Park.

More than 40,000 visitors celebrated the holiday season with a drive through IBEW Holiday Lights in the Park. Families, friends and neighbors gathered together to enjoy the radiant magic of the season. Priceless.

And with the support of our sponsors, volunteers, and the community, the season was filled with light—and hope. $25,000 was raised for local charities Second Harvest Heartland, Union Gospel Mission, St. Paul Parks Conservancy, and UnderConstruction.

Your support and generosity are why the event continues to be such a valuable and exciting experience.

A heartfelt thank you and sincere appreciation, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and King of Kings Church, Woodbury
