World of Illumination donates ticket proceeds to Make-a-Wish

Glendale display up nightly through Jan. 3

World of Illumination — the world’s largest drive-through animated light show that includes a Glendale location — is giving back this holiday season. On Wednesday, Dec. 23, co-founders Simon Kreisberger and Yakir Urman presented a check for $25,000 to Make-A-Wish Arizona.

This year, World of Illumination partnered with Subaru for Share the Love Wednesdays, where a portion of ticket sales were set aside to grant special wishes to Arizona wish kids.

“It’s so important for us as a Valley business to give back to the community that has done so much for us,” Mr. Kreisberger stated in a news release. “It is a privilege to be in a position to impact our state in a positive way.”

This is the second year that World of Illumination has worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona. The company also has a location in Marietta, Georgia, where proceeds from that event benefit Make-A-Wish Georgia.

The Westgate Entertainment District is hosting the display, at 6797 N. 93rd Ave. World Of Illumination is open nightly through Sunday, Jan. 3. The theme this year is “Rockin’ Christmas.”

The event accepts online ticketing in advance only. No drive-ups or gate transactions are allowed.

Tickets are $29 on weekdays and $39 on weekends, and are available at worldofillumination.com/rockin-christmas. The display is available nightly 6-10 p.m.

Upon arrival, park access is limited in one direction. From 91st Avenue, take W. Coyote Blvd. west to ensure the proper entrance.

World Of Illumination features another Valley display, “Arctic Adventure,” at Tempe Diablo Stadium, which runs through Jan. 3.
