Light the Sky

“Let’s Light the sky one day,” was what Elizabeth  Alvarez Stojkovic’s Aunt told her as they watched the Disney movie Tangled.

Remember this scene.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth’s Aunt died January 2012 from Leukemia and they never got the opportunity to light the sky. But in memory of her Aunt’s dream, she created this AMAZING event called ‘Light the Sky,’ and in February of this year, she gathered a whole bunch of people  to set the sky ablaze with lanterns dedicated to loved ones lost.

Well she’s doing it again but this time around, the focus is to bring awareness to another life threatening disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF) that about 1000 people in the US are diagnosed with every year and more than 70% of them being children.

The event will take place on—

June 30, 2012 (ITS COMING UP!!!)

Where:
19-01 23rd Ave, Astoria, NY 11105
From 3pm – 10pm
The Night portion of the day will “… consists of launching lanterns into the sky to celebrate new beginnings, new opportunities or what ever your heart may wish for, while meeting new people and helping raise money and awareness to (Cystic Fibrosis (CF)  ).” You can even write a wish on your lantern and according to Elizabeth ” …the higher the lanterns floats, the greater the chance (your) wish will come true. “
As for the day, there will be tons of activities going on from  live music to face painting (for the kiddies and weird adults-haha-jk), food, and lots more…
SO what do you need to bring for this event?
1. heart or as I like to say he(art)
2.positive energy
3. and of course to capture the beautifully lit sky, a camera.
500 lanterns will be sold at the event. (1st come 1st served)

So  get your ass out there, do something positive, meet some great people, hear some great music and lets raise awareness.

Example of what you can expect to see:

  1. Thank you. I wish I had known about it in advance, but I did get to see the effect, as we were having dinner outside a Greek Restaurant near the Park in Astoria. It was spectacular.
