Christmas Light Show in Manalapan to Raise Money for Charity

Coming up next weekend, don't miss a fun holiday event for the whole family, and all for a great cause!

Joanne and Joe Iantosca are not only taking their home's Christmas decorations to a whole new level of awesome, but they're also hoping to use them as an attraction to help raise money for sick kids.

On Sunday, December 13th from 6:30-7:30 p.m., head to 43 Heather Drive in Manalapan for "Lights & Carols for a ‘Claus'" to benefit Pediatric Services at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold.

In addition to all the lights and decorations, there will be a performance by Rebel Yell and the Rebellettes, two a cappella groups from Howell High School. There will also be an improv troupe on hand from Actors Playground in Freehold. (And rumor has it, Santa and Mrs. Claus may make an appearance!)

During the event, fundraising baskets will be passed around, with all the proceeds going to Pediatric Services at CentraState. Donations are obviously voluntary, but encouraged.

If you do plan to attend, keep in mind that the event is taking place in a very residential area, and while a police officer will be on hand to keep things organized, you may have to park further away on the street and walk to the actual house, and there may be a good amount of traffic.

Heather Drive is located off Wickatunk Rd. in Manalapan, between Rt. 9 and Robertsville Rd.
