What is Brighten the Lives of Seniors?
Every light tells a story. A story of friendship, belonging, and the moments that make life meaningful.
Brighten the Lives of Seniors is GEF’s annual fundraising and community awareness campaign, bringing our community together through the power of light.
The illuminated trees and buildings (located on the corner of 142 street and 109 avenue) at GEF Central Services and McQueen Place Lodge serve as a reminder of the generosity and community spirit that help brighten the lives of seniors.
Through GEF’s Quality of Life Fund, donations help provide programs, activities, and experiences that bring people together and enrich the lives of seniors across our communities.
Last year, thanks to community support, our first campaign raised $32,322 toward our $35,000 goal. This year, we hope to build on that momentum and raise $50,000! There are several ways to get involved. Businesses and community partners can Sponsor a Tree or donate to the Quality of Life Fund.
The Brighten the Lives of Seniors campaign officially kicks off on Friday, December 4, with a Light-Up Launch at GEF McQueen Place Lodge.
The evening will feature the lighting of the community display, entertainment, warm treats, and fire pits, marking the start of another season of bringing light to our communities.
Each illuminated tree and building in our vibrant light display represents a shared commitment to enriching the lives of seniors.
Businesses and community partners can get involved by sponsoring a tree in our light display.
Located at the corner of 142 Street and 109 Avenue, between GEF McQueen Place Lodge and GEF Central Services, the display will brighten the area throughout the winter.
Please complete our Partnership Interest Form to express your interest and indicate your preferred partnership opportunity.
To ensure your business is included in our professionally printed campaign signage, we encourage you to submit the form by Monday, November 23, 2026. Partnership opportunities will remain available after this date.
