Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, September 25, 2026 — The ‘Light the Town Green’ initiative is set to illuminate the Davenport-Rock Island-Moline area this weekend, organized by Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley. The event aims to celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters Month and draw attention to the need for mentors for local children.
Residents and businesses throughout the tri-cities area are encouraged to participate by incorporating green lights and decorations into their displays. This visual campaign seeks to raise broader community awareness about the mentorship opportunities available through Big Brothers Big Sisters.
A key feature of the initiative will be the lighting of the I-74 bridge in green. In conjunction with this, a community walk has been scheduled to take place across the I-74 bridge on Sunday evening. This walk offers a public opportunity to engage with the initiative and show support for its goals.
The organization highlights the ongoing need for volunteers to serve as mentors. The ‘Light the Town Green’ event serves as a visible reminder of the organization’s mission and the positive impact that mentorship can have on young lives.
