​

WHY SPONSOR

Every storybook Christmas needs someone who makes the magic possible.

​

Festival of Lights is four nights of glowing cabins, warm treats, hands-on crafts, and the kind of holiday wonder kids talk about until next December. We keep it fun and affordable on purpose, so no family gets left out of the fun. That only works because local businesses step in to make it happen.

​

When you sponsor, your business shows up right where your neighbors are: in our pre-event promotion, at the event itself, and (at higher levels) in the spotlight on our social channels.

​

All proceeds benefit The Family Place of Transylvania County, so your support keeps strengthening local families long after the last light comes down.​​

​

HOW IT WORKS

Three easy steps to the nice list.

1. Pick your sponsorship level.
2. Pay your way. Sponsor online by credit card, or mail a check payable to The Family Place, PO Box 838, Brevard, NC 28712.
3. Make it in by November 2 and your business will be part of our pre-event promotion, and the whole community will know who helped bring the magic.

Help transform the cabins at Deerwoode Reserve into festive holiday light displays for families to enjoy during the event. It’s free to be a Cabin Sponsor. Just gather a group of little elves, bring your decorations and supplies, and show up to create a spectacular light and holiday display on the exterior of a cabin. And who doesn’t love a little friendly competition? During the event, families will vote for their favorite cabin, and the winner will receive the Festival of Lights Best Cabin Decoration Trophy!

​

The lights go up December 10. Help us write the happiest chapter yet.
