Winter Wonderland Holiday Party is Back
he annual “Light Up the Night” Charity Holiday Party will once again bring the community together in a warm, wonderful “feel good” evening hosted by local law firm Zimmerman and Frachtman, PA. The event is scheduled for 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm on Thursday, December 2 at the law firm’s offices at the corner of Hillsborough Boulevard and Highway 441. Proceeds from this year’s party will benefit The Anthony Rizzo Cancer Foundation and In Jacob’s Shoes. “While it broke our collective hearts to have COVID preempt this beloved community event in 2020,” said party host Bob Zimmerman, “we just knew we had to bring it back in 2021. Once we started asking the community, people really needed and really wanted this event to return. It’s part of their psyche, part of the fiber of this community, and if we did it responsibly, changed some things around --people could still enjoy all the things that make this event so loved, so encompassing and so warm, and not let COVID win.”
The evening of camaraderie, friendship, and fun will include a synchronized light show, live music, loca DJs spinning seasonal tunes, along with an appearance by Santa Claus! The event takes place outside within a few minutes drive of all of Parkland and is free to the public. Each year local restaurants, caterers, bakeries & others donate food & fare for the party. To ensure the highest levels of safety, participants have agreed to hand out gift cards and coupons to visit their eateries after the event and are providing completely wrapped items to guests. Everyone can still enjoy all the fun “freebies” this event is known for without the worry. The Holiday Shopping Village will be bigger than ever at this year’s event. Even more community businesses will showcase their wares and add to the festiveness. As you walk into this year’s event you will be given a goody bag which will include masks and hand sanitizer (while supplies last) so you can protect yourself and fill it up with tons of other goodies given away by
participating businesses and vendors. You will also receive a “HOLIDAY PASSPORT” that once stamped and deposited in the Zimmerman and Frachtman booth enters you for a drawing to win a large screen TV. While the event is free to enjoy, the party’s other purpose is to spread awareness & raise funds for the Anthony Rizzo Cancer Foundation (Rizzo44.com) and In Jacob’s Shoes, which provides gently used & new shoes, school supplies & athletic gear to local families in need.
