Paving the Way Foundation will host its third annual Lights on For Children event on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, from 6-9:30 p.m. in Winter Park.

The fundraising event supports the nonprofit organization's mission to educate, empower and prevent child exploitation and trafficking.

In the growing age of technology, social media and artificial intelligence, proceeds will support educational and training programs to combat what organizers call a "silent crime."

WESH 2's Lindsey Sablan will serve as the event emcee.

Tickets are available for purchase, and the organization is accepting donations.

The event leads into the nationwide awareness event, Universal Children's Day. The day of action aims to raise awareness about child trafficking.

Community members are encouraged to buy a blue light
