Hoan Bridge lights would enhance Milwaukee's skyline, celebrate those who inspire others

Thousands of lights will illuminate the Hoan Bridge if a new campaign succeeds in gathering enough donations from people who want to create a striking addition to the lakefront’s night skyline while paying tribute to those who inspire them. "Light the Hoan" will use crowdsourcing to raise $1.5 million toward lighting the arching lakefront bridge that connects downtown with the city's south side. For a minimum contribution of $25, supporters can get one of the thousands of LED lights that would adorn the bridge, and the opportunity to post a tribute on the lightthehoan.com website.
