Shore Medical Center invites the community to honor and remember loved ones this holiday season by participating in its annual Tree of Lights program, a tradition hosted by Shore’s Auxiliary. With a donation of $10, $20 or $50, participants can light up the tree in tribute to a special individual and have their name inscribed in the Tree of Lights Book of Remembrance, which will be displayed in the hospital lobby throughout the holidays.
The Tree of Lights ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 5 p.m. in the Shore Medical Center lobby. All who participate are invited to join the community in this poignant gathering, as the tree is officially illuminated and loved ones are honored. The event includes a special performance by the Margate Community Church Bell Choir and light refreshments.
“Honoring a loved one during the holidays through Tree of Lights brings family and friends together in a moment of shared remembrance and gratitude,” says Calla Waldron-Buck, auxiliary co-chair. “Each gift also directly supports patient care initiatives at Shore, providing comfort and assistance to those in our community who rely on us for care.”
To have a loved one’s name included in this year’s Tree of Lights Book of Remembrance, donations should be made by Monday, Nov. 25. Gifts can be made online at www.ShoreMedicalCenter.org or by calling 609-653-4646.
