Luminaria
LUMINARIA is an inspirational display of personalized luminaria bags honoring our loved one(s). Each luminaria bag, purchased by donors from around the globe for a $25 donation is uniquely displayed IN HONOR OF or IN MEMORY OF your loved one(s). Hundreds of volunteers and donors come together to create each display. What started along the coast of Boston in 2020 now takes place in various cities across the country.
All proceeds raised at LUMINARIA directly fund our year-round events and mentor program, which remind children that they are not alone in their grief and that "loss is survivable."
Empower LUMINARIA events raise critical operating funds, and equally as important, promote awareness to families that will benefit from our life-changing programs. 100% of funds raised by LUMINARIA events ensure that these programs remain at no cost to the family.
