Charlotte teen’s love for Christmas helps raise money for a good cause

CHARLOTTE — A Charlotte teen is using his love for Christmas lights to raise money for a good cause.

Matt Desrochers, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School, created a light show synched with music in his yard for Christmas.

The display has over 7,000 lights which took months to plan and set up using a computer program that matches lights to music.

People who enjoy the show can donate to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of the Carolinas.

“It’s made me feel great,” Desrochers said.
