Lanier Islands Resort Kicks off the Season of Giving Back with Magical Nights of Lights November 15

BUFORD, Ga. - Rezul -- With the upcoming return of Magical Nights of Lights on November 15, there is an undercurrent of gratitude from the team behind Lanier Islands Resort. Inspired by the spirit of Thanksgiving, the lakeside destination seeks to not only express its appreciation for the community that has supported it for decades, but also to provide opportunities for light watchers to give to those in need this holiday season. With donation drives for Georgia Mountain Food Bank and Toys for Tots, donors can receive the Islands' thanks in the form of discounts on select nights throughout the Magical Nights of Lights Season – valued at $30*. There will also be discount nights for active-duty military members, veterans, first responders, and educators on the resort's event calendar.

"We launched our 'Lanier Islands Resort Gives Back' initiative this summer with our FREE Lakeside Concert Series," said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. "There was a charitable element to that, too, which resulted in the donation of more than 500 pounds of food to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, translating to roughly 14,350 meals. During the holiday season, many of our neighbors need our help more than ever. There are more than 50,000 food-insecure people in the area, and we believe every child deserves the gift of a new toy on Christmas morning. That's why, on select evenings, we will say 'thank you' to anyone who brings three or more canned goods or new unwrapped toys by giving them a $10 discount on their holiday light tour admission, along with a voucher for $20 off one all-access band at Margaritaville's License to Chill Snow Island. We'll also extend that same discount on select nights for many of the true heroes in our community as our thanks for the way they give back daily."
