OUR Philanthropy

Here at Pittsburgh Socialights, we believe in giving back. Here are some of our community initiatives.

Socialights Gala: L&L Ventures is excited to launch the first formal Socialights Gala in 2024. Our goal is to raise money to light up a lot of Joy Homes & Women and Children shelters. We want to give back in a way that we can bring real life joy to the world. There is no better way than lighting their lives for the holidays.

Joy Homes - Pittsburgh Socialights has brought Joy Homes to the local Pittsburgh area. Each year, we ask you to nominate a Pittsburgh family for our ‘Joy Homes’ initiative. A Joy Home is a home where the family has undergone some type of hardship & we surprise them with lighting to brighten their holiday season. This is by far our favorite time of the year! We hope to expand the number of families we surprise and share a little holiday magic wherever and whenever we can.

Hope Homes - Pittsburgh Socialights has partnered with Chick-fil-A to deliver Hope Homes to the local Pittsburgh area. Each year, each Chick-fil-A nominates a local family for our Hope Homes initiative. A Hope Home is a home where the family has undergone some type of hardship & we surprise them with lighting to brighten their holiday season. Chick-fil-A has been a tremendous organization to the greater Pittsburgh area & each individual community. We are proud to partner with them. 

UPMC Children’s Hospital - In 2020 & 2021, we partnered with the UPMC Children’s Hospital in several departments across their organization. Each year, we hold our Pittsburgh Socialights fundraiser asking our Pittsburgh neighbors to donate and share the joy with the brave patients at UPMC Children's Hospital. In 2020, we raised over $13,000. In 2021, we set our sights on an even greater goal of $15,000 and we are proud to say we exceeded that amount!
