During the six-hour live broadcast, the community came together in an inspiring show of generosity, raising more than $160,000 surpassing the original $140,000 goal.

This remarkable achievement was made possible by the support of individuals, businesses, banks, and civic organizations throughout the region. Their contributions will have a lasting impact on the lives of those served by Easterseals Joliet Region. Funds will directly support essential therapy, education, training, and support services, empowering individuals with disabilities and special needs to pursue their goals and live more independently.

“This incredible outpouring of support truly reflects the strength and compassion of our community,” said Deb Condotti, President/CEO of Easterseals Joliet Region. “Because of the community's generosity, we can continue to make meaningful differences in the lives of so many individuals and families.”

Easterseals Joliet Region extends its heartfelt gratitude to all donors, sponsors, volunteers, and viewers who helped make Light Up Lives a shining success.
