An Elegant Evening for a Meaningful Cause 

Join us for an unforgettable night at the Lake Lights Gala, a formal charity event celebrating style, community, and purpose. Hosted at a beautifully restored barn just minutes from Lake Anna, this exclusive evening brings together local residents and professionals for a night of live music, curated drinks, gourmet bites, and giving back. 

This is more than a night out. It’s an opportunity to support a cause that directly impacts the children of Louisa County. 

Supporting the Louisa County Resource Council 

All profits from this event will be donated to the Louisa County Resource Council (LCRC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity and supporting families throughout our community. Proceeds will directly benefit the LCRC Backpack Program, which provides weekend meals to local students who rely on school lunches during the week. Every ticket makes a real impact. 

Event Highlights 

This is a ticketed event open to guests 21 and over. Whether you’re attending with a group or joining solo, you’re invited to enjoy an elevated evening in support of a great cause. 

Melanie Lucero and The M Group Real Estate are deeply committed to the Lake Anna community. Recognizing the importance of supporting local initiatives, they organized the Lake Lights Gala to raise funds for the Louisa County Resource Council’s Backpack Program. This program provides weekend meals to food-insecure children in the area. By hosting this event, Melanie and her team aim to give back to the community that has supported their business, ensuring that local children have the nourishment they need to thrive.
