The 3rd Annual
Campus Light-Up Night
Wednesday, December 2
4:30 to 5:15 p.m.
Campus Mall
(rain location: Blackington Hall)
Entertainment provided by the
Johnstown High School Chorus
It's our annual official kick-off to the Holiday Season!
We will light the Goodwill Arches and then join PJ the Mountain Cat on the traditional walk beneath them.
In keeping with the goodwill of the season, we will be collecting non-perishable food items to be donated to the St. Vincent DePaul Society. In exchange for your donation, you will be eligible to win the Goodwill Basket*. Everyone in attendance will also have an opportunity to sign giant-sized Holiday cards that will be delivered to our partner schools from October's Pitt-Johnstown "@ Your Service" Week. A card will also be delivered to the patients at the Defense Veterans Brain Injury Center.
About the Goodwill Arches
The Goodwill Arches, which line the sidewalk leading to the Pitt-Johnstown Mountain Cat statue, made their campus debut in 2007. These 10 arches, which contain more than 4,000 blue and gold lights, are now an annual tradition symbolizing our hope and generosity of spirit. During light-up night, other areas of campus, including the campus mall, will be illuminated in blue and gold lights.
*The Goodwill Basket
Every person making a donation to the non-perishable food drive will be entered into a drawing for the Goodwill Basket. The drawing will be held following the traditional walk through the Goodwill Arches. The basket will contain:
- gift certificates to Jazzman's and the Mountain Cat Club (compliments of Sodexo)
- a Pitt-Johnstown sweatshirt (compliments of the Bookstore)
- tickets to the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center (compliments of the PPAC),
- 2 passes to winter sporting events (compliments of the Athletics Department)
- 2 tickets to the Pitt-Cincinnati football game (compliments of the President's Office)
- a miniature version of PJ the Mountain Cat (compliments of the President's Office)
This event is part of Pitt-Johnstown's signature program, "Pitt-Johnstown @ Your Service."
