Tree of Hope 2024

The Tree of Hope is DSC's signature fundraising campaign, raising vital funds and awareness for individuals with developmental disabilities in our community.

DSC


In 2024, Son of a Nutcracker Lights partnered with DSC to illuminate the annual Tree of Hope. Planted at the corner of Prospect and Marketview in Champaign, the Tree of Hope stands as a glowing symbol of generosity, inclusion, and hope. Each of its 1,500 multi-color C9 bulbs represents a $100 donation to DSC’s campaign — raising funds for vital services that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community.

"It's not just about the lights—it's about creating hope, unity, and a sense of wonder for everyone who gathers here."

-Braden Finch, Co-Founder
