A new committee has been formed and once again Boyle will hopefully have Christmas Lights this year – but only with the financial support of the businesses and public in Boyle.
The Committee said : “Let us start by saying a massive thank you to all of you who very generously donated to the Christmas lights appeal last year. Without your support the town of Boyle would have been left in darkness for the Christmas period”.
“This year, Boyle town needs the support of the whole community. Due to budget constraints and rising costs, our annual Christmas light display faces cancellation unless we can come together as a community to fundraise the amount needed. This is why we’re launching a GoFundMe campaign to keep our Christmas lights shining—and we need you to help make it happen! Let’s “Light Up Boyle” together as a community”.
Why are they so important?
“Christmas lights are not only for decoration but they play a vital role for local businesses, they attract shoppers and visitors, bringing much needed business to our small-town economy. For families and children, it creates a special and joyous atmosphere helping to create childhood memories. For older residents, it’s a reminder of tradition and the spirit of hope that this time of year brings. Quite simply, the lights represent the heart of our community”.
What will the money be spent on?
“100% of all funds received will go directly towards the costs of Boyle’s Christmas Lights. The various costs include: Insurance, Replacement of broken and damaged bulbs and materials, Contractors, Electricity supply etc”.
How can you help?
