Hey local friends, did you remember to get your iced coffee from Dunkin on May 23rd, for Iced Coffee Day? If you did, thank you! For every iced coffee sold that day, $1 was donated to Hasbro Children’s Hospital. This was such a fun year! Dunkin Donuts partnered with Good Night Lights and arranged an AMAZING event in Providence at India Point Park.

Good Night Lights is a daily tradition in which local residents, businesses and law enforcement officials let the kids at Hasbro Children’s Hospital know we’re thinking of them. Every night, at exactly 8:30 p.m., Good Night Lights participants shine flashlights (and police cars, firetrucks and ambulances turn on their lights) toward the hospital from various locations in downtown Providence. In return, patients in the hospital flicker their room lights on and off and shine their own flashlights from their windows.

My husband and I packed up the boys and headed down to India Point Park. It was PACKED! So many people came to support Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Fire departments and police departments were in attendance to flash their lights too! You really felt the strength of our community and a love for our city.

We have never participated in Good Night Lights before, so we were very excited! The boys were chomping at the, “Is it 8:30 yet?”

We then headed across the way to our local Good Night Lights look-out in East Providence. I was so surprised to see the support there from towns all over Rhode Island, even Rehoboth, Massachusetts showed up in support.

When the clock FINALLY struck 8:30PM, the magic began. You could see lights going all around the city from various points, and when the lights started flashing back at us from the windows of the hospital, my heart melted. This is definitely something that we will be doing again and again.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, but all the love and support for Dunkin and Hasbro Children’s Hospital is 100% my own.
