Lights of Love is more than a campaign — it’s a LIFELINE for families with seriously ill children. The campaign culminates in a Community Celebration on December 6 at American Tobacco Campus. Last year in our inaugural 2025 campaign, companies, groups, and individuals from across the Triangle came together to raise more than $550,000, to support Ronald McDonald House residential houses and in-hospital programs for families whose children are receiving critical care at Duke, UNC, and WakeMed Children’s Hospitals. This year's we hope to raise $670,000 to support these vital services.
