Light Up the Holidays

07/27/2026

Thank you to Backwoods Gaming for your wonderful donation to our organization! They had a Christmas in July poker run to help benefit organizations that give back around the holidays. Thank you for helping us light up the holidays for children in the hospitals at Christmas time!

Tomorrow is the day! Jeeps, Beeps and Peeps ! You don’t have to have a Jeep to go on the Poker Run. A Jeep, anything that Beeps and all of your Peeps! It’s going to be a great day! Bring your lawn chairs for the music after the Poker Run. Only $20 per hand for a great cause!

Happy heavenly birthday to the founder of Light up the Holidays Angi Orso Fouste. You’ve inspired so many and brightened holidays for hundreds of children. We miss you so much, but here is a fun video from 3 years ago to light up this day.

Sad news for the Light Up the Holidays Family. We lost the heart of our organization yesterday. My mom, Angi Fouste, passed away suddenly at her home. We will never be able to replace her or her compassion to help others. In her honor, we are collecting monetary donations to help decorate more trees for this next Christmas season.

Three years ago, my mom and I started a project called 'Light up the Holidays'… Mercedes Eberlin needs your support for Light up the Holidays: Honoring My Mom

I appreciate all of the tree donations! Donors don’t always get feedback about your generosity but we have had a couple. In the post below this one about the Mercy drop-off, one parent expressed appreciation. I also received a text today (below) from my son with more. Thanks for all of your help!
