Join us this holiday season for The Arc Gateway’s 25th Annual Tree of Lights on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM inside Cordova Mall, near Dillard's. This milestone celebration shines a spotlight on 25 years of empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while bringing our community together to honor the special people who light up our lives.
The evening will feature the symbolic lighting of our dazzling Tree of Lights, a live reading of tributes by WEAR-TV 3 News Anchor Sue Straughn, and a heartwarming sing-along with our clients, creating an inclusive, festive atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of the season.
Support our Tree of Lights campaign with a minimum donation of $25 per tribute. Each contribution includes a notification to a loved one of your choice, along with a tax-deductible acknowledgment letter. The deadline to have your tribute read by Sue Straughn is Monday, December 15, but acknowledgment gifts can be sent through the end of the year.
Funds raised support the vital programs and services The Arc Gateway provides to over 1,150 adults and children each year, helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live, learn, work, and grow to their fullest potential. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to continue fostering independence and inclusion in our community.
