So… we invite you to be a part of this soon-to-be global movement. This movement awakens the light and love and positivity that exists in all of us and therefore drowns out the shadows of hurt, pain and suffering that we continue to see.

We are giving away a $250 Visa Gift Card each quarter to one lucky participant. To become a part of our movement and enter to win a $250 Visa Gift Card, submit a picture of you, your loved ones, your network or a plus-sign symbol on this page on our website . Every photo will be shared amongst our 25,000-person audience to help spread light in a world overcome by darkness.

We still have a long way to go and we still have an unbearable amount of darkness that we are still fighting in this country and in our world. But… light will always prevail, and we are empowering you to be the spark.
