Camarillo Light Up event.<\/p><\/div>\n


\nThis year, we were honored to host three memorable “Light Up a Life” events, each one an opportunity to come together in remembrance and celebration of loved ones. On December 6<\/span>th<\/sup>, amidst the charming backdrop of Oxnard’s Heritage Square, guests gathered for a heartfelt tree lighting and remembrance ceremony. The evening was filled with warmth and reflection as participants honored the memories of those they’ve lost.

\nThe next day, on December 7th<\/sup>, we continued this cherished tradition in the serene surroundings of Constitution Park in Camarillo, where guests took part in a symbolic luminary lighting, creating a powerful sense of unity and remembrance.
