Join us this Holiday Season as The Arc Gateway celebrates its 24th Annual Tree of Lights on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 7 p.m. inside Cordova Mall.
This heart-warming ceremony will feature the symbolic lighting of our tree, a reading of names by WEAR-TV 3 news anchor Sue Straughn, and the delightful opportunity to join in singing a few festive carols with our talented client choir. Warm up with some delicious hot chocolate and enjoy holiday cookies provided by Crumbl! The ceremony is sure to make even the grinchiest heart grow by 3 sizes in an exciting evening presented by our event sponsor, Emerald Coast Hospice!

Funds raised by the Tree of Lights support the services The Arc Gateway provides to more than 1,150 adults and children in our community each year. Since 1954, The Arc Gateway has been empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and this event provides a special moment for our community to honor those who bring brightness to their lives. Our mission is to create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live, learn, work, and grow to their maximum potential. As a non-profit organization, we rely on donations, grants, and special events like Tree of Lights to continue fostering independence and community inclusion.
