Professional Sports Partner Spotlight
In 2021, Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison joined former Vikings punter Greg Coleman for a virtual conversation with law enforcement and community leaders to talk about social justice and Lights On!’s impact.
Lights On! Program Update
In June 2026, we made the difficult decision to close the Lights On! Program in Minnesota and across the country. If you are an auto center or law enforcement partner, you should have already received communication about the closure and any steps needed to close out your account. We are currently in the process of notifying all other program partners and stakeholders.
If you have any questions about the closure, please contact the Lights On! team at LOP@microgrants.net.
