Merry Christmas!!!

After the success of the 2012 Vancouver Tree Lighting Event the Amacon family is still cheerfully captivated by the spirit of the holiday season! With contributions from our loyal sponsors we were able to have a record breaking year in donations for our deserving charities. Over the past 6 years we have raised over $600,000!

Since 2004 the Vancouver Tree Lighting Celebration has provided a free, outdoor, public, holiday event including performers, singers and treats while turning the spotlight on local charities.

We would like you to consider making an early commitment to this year’s event.
