Light up Peru is a group of community members, led by Paul Foreman, to address the desire to create great Christmas memories for the City of Peru. Light Up Peru does many fundraisers throughout the year in our community. One hundred percent of proceeds received go to making future Christmas displays, as well as maintaining current ones. 

Their amazing team of regulars and part-time volunteers are committed to helping others. Each year, volunteers decorate the large pine trees at the Miami County Courthouse, along with a growing number of light displays. They also host a parade and a tree lighting each year to kick off the Christmas season.

For more information, contact them at 765-432-1052 to find out volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, and ways that you can get their message to your friends and family.
