Lights on the Lake
Welcome to Lights on the Lake 2009! This year Heartspring celebrates 75 years of service to children with special needs. We hope you’ll help us mark this milestone with a visit to our 6th Annual Lights on the Lake Preview Party and Drive Thru. Don't forget to visit the Hospitality Center while you're here to get a photo with Santa!
Thanks to tremendous support from Wichita and the surrounding community, Lights on the Lake has become Heartspring’s signature special event. Last year, over 25,000 people visited Lights on the Lake as part of their holiday, driving through the Heartspring campus to marvel at dozens of displays, thousands of lights and our 45-foot-tall tree of lights. Visit Lights on the Lake, open nightly Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, to see this year’s new custom displays including Candy Cane Court. This new feature in the Heartspring courtyard features 100 dancing lighted candy canes, all over five feet tall!
Because of Heartspring events such as Lights on the Lake, children with special needs in our community are receiving the therapies and tools they need to help them reach their full potential. Last year, Heartspring Pediatric Services met the outpatient therapy needs of over 700 children with developmental disabilities. Pediatric Services clients come to Heartspring from 30 counties and 73 cities across the state of Kansas. The Financial Assistance Program, which is partially funded by Lights on the Lake proceeds, distributed over $253,000 in discounted therapies to 149 families. When you support Lights on the Lake, you truly make a difference in the life of a child.
