Light Up The Night

The community is invited May, 10th at 9pm to help Light Up The Night – a benefit Corynna Strawser.  With 400 beautiful lighted lanterns glowing on the City Park pond you won’t want to miss the opportunity to simply join us that evening as we show our love and support to this amazing young lady. 

Corynna Strawser, a Greenville teen, has suffered from an incurable gastrointestinal illness the majority of her life as well as mitochondrial disease. Over the past two years Corynna’s illness has become more severe and she cannot do the things she used to be capable of. Because of Corynna’s medical needs it has become necessary for the family to make their home more accessible for Corynna to live only on the first floor as she can no longer walk.  They need to build an addition to provide her with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. 

This amazing young girl has gone through multiple surgeries and pain that no one could ever imagine with rarely a complaint.  As a community, it is our time to come together to help the Strawser family by Lighting UpThe Night. 

We are asking for the community to help by making donation to this worth cause.  In kind donations of labor as well as donations of supplies are also being accepted.  Please stop by Furniture Express on Wagner Avenue or at American Title on Broadway to make your donation to help Corynna!  Lanterns will be sold in the high school lobby from 11 to 12:30 during the second week of May. 

The event will be held in the Greenville City Park on May 10th at 9pm at the two center ponds and anyone is welcome to come set up and light the lanterns at 8pm on that date. The scheduled rain date is Saturday, May 11th.   We plan to launch 400 lanterns for the Strawser family to show our support. For any questions please contact Dara Buchy at dbuchy@greenville.k12.oh.us or by calling Mr. Mark Koontz 937-548-4188 (career tech office). Please park your car and stroll past the gazebo to sign a guest book for Corynna as a moment of this amazing event.
