RAPID CITY, S.D. — [December 1, 2025] — Property Meld proudly announced that its inaugural Night Above the Lights fundraising event, hosted through its employee-led community impact program Meld Cares, raised $12,220 in support of Cornerstone Mission, a local nonprofit serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness. More than 120 community members, partners, and employees attended the celebration, making it one of the program’s most successful events to date.
Held at the beautifully lit rooftop overlook, the event brought together guests for an evening of connection, reflection, and holiday joy all united around a shared commitment to strengthening the Rapid City community.
“Giving back is especially meaningful during the holiday season,” said Autumn Hughes, Director of People at Property Meld. “Meld Cares provides our team with an opportunity to come together in service, support our neighbors, and make a tangible impact. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and helped us raise funds for Cornerstone Mission’s vital work.”
The $12,220 raised will directly support Cornerstone Mission’s emergency shelter programs, meals, supportive services, and community outreach efforts resources that become even more essential as temperatures drop and the need for safe shelter increases.
“The Cornerstone Rescue Mission extends our heartfelt gratitude to Property Meld for choosing us as the beneficiaries of the inaugural Night Above the Lights. The timing of the event could not have been more meaningful,” said Lisa Allison, Executive Director of Cornerstone Mission. “The frigid Saturday evening temperatures meant that Cornerstone was filled not only with our regular guests but also with unhoused individuals seeking refuge from the cold. Property Meld’s support came at a critical moment, and we are deeply grateful for their generosity and friendship. Their partnership made a real and immediate impact when it was needed most.”
Meld Cares, founded by Property Meld employees, leads year-round volunteerism and philanthropic initiatives focused on housing-related community needs. Night Above the Lights has quickly become a signature event for the group, highlighting the spirit of generosity that defines both the program and the company’s culture.
