Plantation Oaks Holiday Luminaria

One of our wonderful team members, Marsha Keller, has been an active member of the Plantation Oaks community for the past 10 years. During her time in this neighborhood, she has created a special holiday tradition for the residents to enjoy. This year, she and Plantation Oaks celebrated their 5th annual Holiday Luminaria. The kits for this event are created by workers at Pine Castle and hand delivered by Marsha and the team to each residence of Plantation Oaks. Each year, the neighbors gather for a holiday fest and Christmas parade on the streets lined with these spectacular luminaries.

This project is near and dear to Marsha’s heart. In her past career she worked for over a decade in sheltered workshops similar to Pine Castle. When she heard about Pine Castle’s Luminary sale, she knew it was a wonderful opportunity to support something she is passionate about while sharing the holiday spirit with her community of Plantation Oaks.

In our video, we sat down for an interview with Anthony Sutton, Chief Development Officer, at Pine Castle to learn more about the mission of the organization.
