Paige and James had a BBQ like this one as their wedding reception in Montana. She enjoyed all things outdoors, including silly backyard games. And the lanterns we light will be sent up to heaven for her to see. The lanterns can be dedicated to someone special to you, or to someone you've lost.

Simply bring your donations to the event (cash and check will both be accepted), or you can donate with a credit card on-line by clicking on our links to the right. Please let us know in advance if you will be attending the event so that we will be sure to have enough sky lanterns for your needs.
