Summer Lights is a fun opportunity to bring your friends, family, colleagues and others together in support of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJ Centre).
“Summer Nights”, the classic track from the movie Grease, inspired Summer Lights which involves bringing people together with family and friends this summer to host an event and raise funds to give hope to people with cancer.
Event ideas range from a dinner at a restaurant, a picnic in the park, or BBQ at home with friends, and the list goes on. Participants are encouraged to fill the night with lights to symbolise our message of hope.
