Milwaukee residents are about to get a glimpse of what the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge will look like in all of its illuminated glory. This week, Light the Hoan will move forward with a collaboration with Signify, the world leader in lighting, to temporarily install connected LED lighting on the bridge.

Though its been some time since our last update, big things have been happening behind-the-scenes over here at Light the Hoan.

Nearly one year after Light the Hoan gave Milwaukeeans a sneak peek at what the Hoan Bridge could look like in lights, the group has announced a $1.2 million grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation on behalf of an anonymous donor.

This month, Light the Hoan joined forces with several local programs and organizations with shared focus on STEM education to inspire the next generation of coders.

Light the Hoan has raised another $500,000, propelling the collective closer to its ultimate fundraising goal, and ensuring it can move forward with lighting purchases.
