Why We Gather


The hippo? He’s part of the night. Why? You’ll have to come to find out!

Children’s Relief International partners with local leaders around the world to lift children and families out of poverty. The gifts raised on October 1 fuel that work directly—nourishing at-risk babies through Tessa Grace nutrition, sending kids to school through Child Sponsorship, building safe homes through Green Door, and walking alongside women, widows, and the elderly through Strength & Dignity and Project Life—plus training and sending missionaries to carry it all forward.

Night of Light is our biggest night of the year:
one dinner, one room, one shared goal of $200,000 to fund that work.
