The Annual Tree Lighting & Luminaria event is MPPG’s only fundraiser. Group members volunteer to coordinate the event and raise money via sales of luminaria kits, and event sponsorship from area businesses, and donations on the day of the event.
In addition to giving back to the community, 70% of Luminaria profits are donated to a charitable cause or organization voted on by MPPG members. MPPG’s 2021 Luminaria donation recipients were St. Joseph School, the Mariemont Angel Fund, and toward bathroom improvements at Dogwood Park to allow them to be open year-round. The remaining proceeds from Luminaria are used to fund projects throughout the community.
Thank you for your participation! The Mariemont Preschool Parents Group is extremely proud and honored to be a part of this wonderful village tradition and always look forward to it each holiday season.
