Luminaria
LUMINARIA is a heartfelt display held at sunset, offering a chance to pause, reflect, and come together for a moving tribute. Whether you attend in person or watch our video recap, you’ll experience a stunning display of luminaria bags—each one illuminated in memory of someone who has died or in honor of those who offer support during times of grief.
Each luminaria bag, available for a $25 donation, will be uniquely displayed at one of several iconic locations across the country. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the New England coastline, the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, and the Santa Monica Pier, your tribute will be part of something truly special.
All donors will receive a link to photos from the location where their bag is displayed, along with a video keepsake featuring highlights from all locations. (Please note: We cannot guarantee that every bag will appear in the photos or video.)
Most importantly, 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting the grieving children we serve.
