The event also serves to honor the 2015 Light the World Scholarship Awards recipients – the first recipients of these awards.

In advance of the festival, Senator Hamilton said, “Light the World Foundation’s work uplifts important values, both here and in Haiti. Supporting education and the arts, giving young people opportunities, and bringing our community together – that is uniting our neighborhood for the common good.

It will be my pleasure to join in celebrating the achievements of these young scholars.”
