Sickles Market Tree Lighting Dec. 1

LITTLE SILVER — The Sickles Market Tree Lighting will take place at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, at the market, 1 Harrison Ave.

This year’s lighting will benefit the Employee Relief Fund to assist Sickles employees who lost homes, vehicles and possessions during superstorm Sandy.

While the market survived the storm relatively unharmed, many of the market’s employees did not fare as well.

Several lost homes and possessions, according to a press release from Sickles Market.

Two trees will be lit on Dec. 1 and raffled, with proceeds going to the relief fund. Sickles will also conduct a contest, with a $1 donation requested for each guess. The winning guess will receive two custom-decorated holiday wreaths and Sickles will match the contest proceeds.

A large stocking will also be available at the market where visitors can place donated money or checks (payable to the Sickles Market Employee Relief Fund).

There will be refreshments and music as well.
