This is what Tampa River Lights Festival has to say about their event:
The 2012 Class of Leadership Tampa Bay is hosting a FREE one of a kind event along the banks of the Hillsborough River to benefit Voices for Children of Tampa Bay. On December 8th, from 6pm-9pm, 10,000 illuminated 3” river lights, representing children in need of Ad Litem representation in our own community, will be released into the Hillsborough River. Travelling the Hillsborough River from their starting point just north of Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, to their collection point at MacDill Park, the glowing river lights will transform Curtis Hixon into a spectacular destination for a night of food, music and fun.
Voices for Children of Tampa Bay, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support the Guardian ad Litem program (a partnership of community advocates and professional staff providing a voice on behalf of Florida’s abused and neglected children).

At present, the program is only able to support 57% of the children.
