How Does Chase The Light Work?

Registration is a $20 suggested donation that helps cover our cost to produce the event, and anything above that amount helps us raise critical funds that support scholarships and our annual calendar of free public programs. However, to remove financial barriers, you can register for free. If you’d like your own personal print of your selected Chase The Light image you can add $20 to your registration.
