Thank you for your support as more than $111,000 has been passed along to more than a dozen local charities since 2002. 100% of collections go to charity, with the exception of 2007/2008 when paid-duty police officers were hired to control traffic (this was the only way to keep the shows running, and were the only expenses paid out from collected donations).

We accept monetary donations at the show (in a secure donation box), along with contactless methods listed below.  Thank you!

1) E-transfer (wildcherrylights@gmail.com). As there are no fees, 100% gets passed on.

2) Paypal, which incurs transaction fees of which the charities lose out (ex: 6% on $10 donation, 4.5% on $20, etc.)
