The $15,000 ($7,500 in 2016 and 2017) Dunham Fund grant will provide support for two years for Rotary Club of Aurora’s Festival of Lights at Phillips Park during the Christmas holiday season.
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the festival in 2016, Rotary Club will continue to provide hundreds of volunteer hours, supported by technical and logistical assistance of City of Aurora staff, to the more than 29,000+ individuals who drive through the festival each year from November 25 to December 26.
Proceeds from the festival entrance fees are given back to the community in the form of grants to local nonprofit organizations that help disadvantaged youth, the homeless and the hungry.
