Forest of Lights
Are you a business looking to build brand awareness or want to contribute to the holiday spirit? Purchase a tree in our Forest of Lights to decorate! Trees will be on display at the Holiday Extravaganza and Breakfast with Santa event. Then take the tree back to your business or donate to a family in need.
All proceeds go to purchasing gifts to be passed out to the community at the Rockin' Around North Highlands Event.
Paint the Parks
We are excited to start our newest initiative, Paint the Parks! After all the positive feedback from the Community Mural at Karl Rosario Park, we would like to continue to paint our parks! The goal of this project is to invest and activate our parks, foster community pride and deter constant tagging. We will paint a new park on the last Wednesday of the month until May of 2025.
Due to weather our Paint the Parks project at Larchmont Park has been delayed. We hope to resume the initiative in January 2025. In the meantime, be sure to check out our completed projects here!
If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this Volunteer Form. We are also accepting paint supply donations! Feel free to bring them by the front office before our next project!
