NICEVILLE, Fla. — The Geek Lights on the Corner Lights and Music Show recently presented $8,826.76 to Crisis Aid for Littles and Moms (CALM). The money comes from visitor donations collected during the recently completed fourteenth season of the Geek Lights on the Corner.

“I want to make sure everyone knows that this donation comes from the show’s fans, not from us,” said Jeff Werner, proprietor of the show.

“Your incredible generosity broke every donation record that we track.  I’m very proud of how much you’ve helped CALM to do their mission, and you should be proud yourselves.”

CALM is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization with the self-proclaimed mission to “break the generational bonds of poverty for single Moms and their children in Northwest Florida.”

CALM operates a transitional home in Niceville where eligible moms go through a five-month course to learn how to live independently and then transition into a new life.

The Geek Lights consists of Christmas lights and other Christmas-themed display elements, all under computer control and synchronized to stories and music.  The show is the technical wizardry of Jeff Werner, the “Northwest Florida Geek” and Wendy Werner, his “Spouse Peripheral.”
