Light the Valley CT to host drive-through event at Center for Cancer Care in Derby

Shared from Light The Night Facebook page:

"The month is ending, time to bring all that light and healing energy home for our patients.

"We will set up all remaining luminaries at the Cancer Center at Griffin Hospital on 10/30 where they will remain through the night ushering us into October's last day. "No physical interaction guys, just drive through if you're around and marvel at all the sparkle."



This is my luminary for #LighttheValleyCT.
