More than 10,000 luminaries light up DI!
The 5th Annual Island of Lights on Sunday, December 4, illuminated the holiday season - and a good cause. Money raised through the initiative will benefit the Daniel Island School PTA. According to Krysten Coulter, who coordinated the effort, 533 households took part in the event, lighting up 7730 luminaries across the island. Another 3,000 luminaries were displayed in parks and commons areas for a whopping total of over 10,000 bags. The title sponsor of the event was Hudson Nissan and Gold Sponsor support was provided by The Daniel Island Community Fund and Scout Boats.
Other business supporters include Daniel Island Real Estate, Lowcountry Mulch, Publix, Coastal Vascular and Vein Center, Mathnasium, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, JKI Daniel Island, Wild Blue Ropes, Daniel Island Shuttle, Charleston Express and Jackson Built Homes. Preliminary estimates place the total raised at over $15,000, said Coulter.
