The Luminaria Festival and Annual Tree Lighting is MPPG’s only fundraising event. MPPG members coordinate the event and raise funds via sales of luminaria kits, event sponsorship from area businesses, and donations on the day of the event.
In addition to giving back to the community, Luminaria profits are donated to charitable causes and organizations voted on by MPPG members. Last year over $19,000 was donated to Ronald McDonald House, The Mariemont Library and the Dogwood Park Tot Lot.
