Join us for WBYC’s annual Brighten the Night event on December 19th as we come together to honor our loved ones, raise awareness for grief and mental health, and remember William Shaw, who tragically passed away on February 19, 2019, while in the 3rd grade.

This year, we invite our entire community to participate by purchasing a luminary kit and lighting up your walkway, driveway, or sidewalk after sunset on December 19th.  Each kit, priced at $25, includes 10 luminary bags, 10 tea lights, and decorating instructions. You can also have your address added to the Brighten the Night map, guiding others to homes and businesses around Carlisle that are part of this meaningful event.

In addition, we are offering the opportunity to honor a loved one by adding their name to our remembrance list, which will be read aloud on the Carlisle Town Common at 6:30 PM on December 19th.  Together, we will shine a light on grief awareness, mental health, and the beautiful legacy of William Shaw.

We look forward to lighting up the night in remembrance and solidarity.  All are welcome to join us for this heartfelt community event.

Event details: December 19th, 6:30 PM, Carlisle Town Common

Luminary kits available for $25 – purchase on our website

Let’s Brighten the Night and honor the memories of those we’ve lost.
