THIRTY YEARS OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS PROVIDE HOPE

The 30th year of making a difference in the life of a child with cancer opens Friday night!  Take a trip down Candy Cane Lane in West Allis and share the true spirit of the season. Remember to drive with your lights on!!

The West Allis neighborhood bounded by Oklahoma and Montana Avenues and 92nd to 96th Street is transformed into a winter wonderland in December to benefit the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc.)

For the 30th year, neighbors will join together to show the spirit of the holiday season during “Sharing Christmas.”  The holiday lights will be aglow from Nov. 27 – Dec. 27, 6-9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 5-10 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.  The event is free, but visitors may leave a donation if they wish.  These donations translate into a perpetual gift of hope and life for children with cancer. The official collection site is at the corner of 95^th & Manitoba.

Throughout the month a variety of other entertainment is also offered.  Visit www.candycanelanewi.com for a complete calendar of events and make sure to ‘like’ Candy Cane Lane on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for up to the minute information.
