🎃 It's finally here! Opening night of the Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow!

After months of planning and an incredible week of preparation, we're ready to light up the hill! We can't wait for everyone to see what our amazing volunteers have created.

📅 Tonight, 6–10 PM
📍 Stoddard Avenue, Dayton
🎟️ As always, admission is FREE!

🚚 Come hungry! We'll have food trucks and plenty of treats to enjoy while you explore the Glow.

💕 A special opportunity tonight! Anyone wishing to make a donation to Pink Ribbon Good and help place one of our 125 special pink lights inside a pumpkin should stop by the big white tent between 4:30 and 5 PM today.

Pink Ribbon Good will also be collecting cash donations throughout both nights of the event.

🐾 While you're here, be sure to visit Pink Ribbon Good and Friends of SICSA inside the white tent!

And of course, a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors, especially Ram Restoration, Keller Williams Advisors Realty, and the many local businesses who help make this tradition possible year after year.
