Prince George, B.C. – The  Salvation Army’s Tree of Lights   was shining bright  , but that doesn’t mean the  campaign has reached its goal.

“Right now  that campaign has raised  just under $29,500 dollars” says Salvation Army Business Manager Bill Glasgow “and that’s about $20 thousand  short of the goal.”

There is still time to buy a light  and they can be purchased for $5 dollars each at the coast Inn, or at any  credit union in Prince George until the end of the business  day today.

Each year, the Salvation Army  gives out a Shining Star  award to the  person, company, group or organization that has made the  largest  donation to the Tree of lights.  “Right now I have a five way tie for  first place with each having  donated a thousand dollars” says Glasgow.
