LightUpNight POSTER edit.jpgBETHANY, W.Va. – Bethany College will hold their Sixth Annual Light Up Night and Charity Christmas Tree Auction Thursday, Dec. 1, at 6:30 p.m. in Commencement Hall. The evening will begin with the official lighting of the tree, and a charity tree and wreath auction will follow.

The trees and wreaths that are up for auction will be decorated in various holiday themes. Each is donated by students, departments or local groups.

All proceeds from the event will go to Bernie’s Kids. The charity, which is named in honor of the late Brooke County Sheriff and Commissioner Bernie Kazienko, provides Christmas presents for needy children in the county. Last year’s event raised approximately $3,000 for the charity.

Santa Claus and his special guests will be making appearances at the event, and will get pictures taken with children in attendance.

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

For more information, or if you would like to donate a tree or wreath, please contact the Student Life Office at 304.829.7631 no later than Monday, Nov. 28.
