GIFT OF LIGHTS IS ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR DESERVING FAMILIES TO BLESS WITH GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS

Published: Friday, November 2, 2012 3:10 PM CDT
FORT WORTH (October 30, 2012) -- As the Holiday season approaches, Gift of Lights wants to bless several deserving families in the North Texas area with Gifts of Christmas. Each family selected will receive a complimentary family 4-Pack of tickets, including admission into Gift of Lights at Texas Motor Speedway, a gift card provided by Tom Thumb to purchase their holiday dinner, and a free color photo with Santa. In addition, the family's home exterior will be professionally decorated with lights, including a 24 lighted wreath.


"Christmas is the perfect time to reach out and bless those who need a little support and joy in their lives," said David Fred, CEO of Winterland, producer of Gift of Lights. "Maybe you know a single mom who is struggling to provide for her kids this holiday season. Or perhaps it's a teacher or coach who has really gone the extra mile. We want to hear their story so we might be a special blessing to them."

All nominations must be received by midnight Sunday, November 4, 2012. Simply fill out the nomination form at http://tinyurl.com/lights2012.

Winners will be notified by phone or email no later than November 20, 2012. The winning families will be posted at www.facebook.com/TexasGiftofLights, and at www.giftoflightstms.com.

Gift of Lights is a drive-thru holiday spectacular featuring more than two million LED lights, opening to the public November 21st and will run through January 6, 2013. Visitors will enjoy more than 600 unique and exciting holiday displays across 1.7 miles at Texas Motor Speedway, 3545 Lone Star Circle, Fort Worth.

Admission is only $15 per car Monday - Thursday or $20 per car Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Proceeds benefit Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth and the Tarrant Area Food Bank.
