Happy Valentine’s Day: Spread the Light for Lumos

Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all. Whether your Gilderoy Lockhart sharing an extra smile with a portrait of yourself, punch drunk on a strong love potion, having an awkward first date at Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop, or celebrating with your closest friends and family, we hope you are spreading love this Valentine’s Day.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, we would like to the word about an opportunity to spread love to Lumos. Spread the Light is hosting a fundraiser for J.K. Rowling’s children’s charity. The fundraiser was founded by Always J.K. Rowling and Potterish, and is supported by 19 different Harry Potter fan websites. The fundraiser is also a prize draw, and offers Harry Potter fans the chance to win unique Harry Potter prizes with their donation. SpreadtheLight.site writes:

Exciting things happen when you unite the worldwide Harry Potter fansite community! Together we’re giving you the chance to win some incredible prizes such as a signed Harry Potter book set signed by Daniel Radcliffe (which was won by the Spread The Light staff referring the most donors to Lumos’s 2015 Winter campaign), original drawings by Harry Potter illustrators, Thomas Taylor & Olly Moss, 2 Cassandra Clare (Shadow Hunters) signed books, plus much more!

Spread The Light is a fundraiser for the children’s charity J.K. Rowling founded, Lumos. Lumos aims to transform the life of children who reside in orphanages, giving back their fundamental rights like having the comfort and the peace of a home or parents who love them. A shocking 90% of the 8 million children in orphanages aren’t even orphans! A recent study found that children who grow up in institutions are 10 times more likely to be involved in prostitution than their peers, 40 times more likely to have a criminal record and 500 times more likely to take their own lives. With your help, that can all change! (For more on Lumos, visitWeAreLumos.org).
