LANCASTER, NY (WKBW) — The Stony Brook Legendary Lights display hopes to raise $100,000 for the Depew-Lancaster Boys and Girls Club before the end of 2024.

"It's magical to see that just to see the lights and the people come by," said Cindy Gehl, a neighbor.

Jeff Kupka, Executive Director for the Boys and Girls Club, said having his organization chosen to receive donations from the light display is an incredible act of love from his community.

"Every time these guys say thank you for the Boys and Girls Club, they smile and shake their heads," said Kupka. "They know what we do or at least what we try to do."

The neighborhood of over 200 houses makes the display possible each year by choosing a different charity.

"This would not be successful without the neighborhood," said Tony Dittmer, one of the event organizers. "The neighborhood makes it work."

You can catch live music on December 28 at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at 7 Stone Hedge Drive.
