Our community is being encouraged to shop locally while raising awareness and funds for the more than 5,600 children and adults served by LifeScape.

The event is the brainchild of LifeScape Director of Development, Anna Trosper,

We’ve heard from many small shops in recent months that they’re facing challenges. What better way to lift them up than by bringing new customers through their doors while also benefiting LifeScape? It’s a win-win for our community.”
