LUMINARIA is a heartfelt display held at sunset, offering a chance to pause, reflect, and come together for a moving tribute. Whether you attend in person or watch our video recap, you’ll experience a stunning display of luminaria bags—each one illuminated in memory of someone who has died or in honor of those who offer support during times of grief.

Luminaria bags are available for $25 and will be uniquely displayed at one of several iconic locations across the country. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the New England coastline, the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, and the Santa Monica Pier, your tribute will be part of something truly special.

All donors will receive a link to photos from the location where their bag is displayed, along with a video keepsake featuring highlights from all locations. (Please note: We cannot guarantee that every bag will appear in the photos or video.) We would love for you to join us in person - the displays are public and free of cost. If you would like to purchase a bag, you can visit our website here: https://weareempower.org/support-us/luminaria/.

Most importantly, 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting the grieving children we serve.
