Luminaries of Hope and Live Nativity

Cunningham Children’s Home will host a special holiday drive thru event: Luminaries of Hope and Live Nativity, December 11 and 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. 

Along with a live nativity, Cunningham’s campus, located at 1301 N. Cunningham Avenue in Urbana, will be lit up with 794 Luminaries of Hope, representing each of the youth, adults and families the agency served this year through its residential, educational and community-based services.

For $10, the public can purchase a luminary, in honor or memory of someone special, to be included along the drive. For a suggested donation of $5, the community is invited to drive through our campus and enjoy this special event.

When guests arrive, they will receive a program featuring the names of all who have purchased luminaries of hope and the names for whom they are honoring or memorializing. Proceeds will support the programs at Cunningham.
