As shared by Bill and Marilyn Watson, founders of Michelle’s Place and parents of the late Michelle, “Our daughter Michelle lived her life with joy, hope, and positivity. The ‘Hope Lights the Night’ event was born from our desire to gather the community, share stories, celebrate loved ones, and honor those we’ve lost. It’s a moment to shine light on the hope, joy, and positivity that we all carry.”

We look forward to celebrating with you and lighting up the night in honor of those we love.
