Community Involvement

On Thursday night, December 17th, Santa's helper decorated a Preferred Auto truck and he used it to participate in "Love Light, Shine Bright" at Lutheran Children's Hospital. Love Light, Shine Bright is an exchange of vehicle and flashlight beams between community members in their vehicles and patients inside Lutheran Children's Hospital. The children were able to interact with the Fort Wayne Police Department, Fort Wayne Fire Department, and of course, Santa. In association with The Greater Good of Fort Wayne, Mad Anthony's Children's Hope House, and Lutheran Children's Hospital.
