Glen-Ed Last Night was started by a group of men from Eden Church in 2003 with the purpose of offering an alcohol-free, family friendly celebration of the New Year for the community. Last year’s event was held at the Edwardsville YMCA Meyer Center and had over 1,200 people attend. Over $10,000 was raised for Habitat for Humanity and Metro-East Fellowship of Christian Athletes and over $75,000 has been raised for community groups over the 7 year span of the event. Recipients of prior years include Glen-Ed Pantry, Faith in Action, Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7, YMCA of Edwardsville, and Women’s Christian Center.
