TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama chapter of Circle K will light luminaries across the UA Quad on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 5-9 p.m. (weather permitting).
The annual event raises money for the William D. Partlow Developmental Center. Donations are given by local businesses and individuals. The money raised is used to buy gifts for the residents of the center.
Paper bags are filled with sand and candles on the morning of the event. Later that day, the same volunteers will place the bags along the sidewalks of the UA Quad and light the candles.
Hot chocolate will be served to help fight the cold and get into the holiday spirit.
The event is open to the University and West Alabama communities.
