The holiday is rapidly approaching, leading to the Carson City Hospital Auxiliary’s (CCHA) 25th annual Lights of Love campaign.
Lights of Love offers a wonderful way to remember special people who have passed away and to honor those who touch our lives every day. Through donation, the name of each person honored will be placed on a keepsake ornament and displayed throughout the holiday season. The special holiday ornament is our gift to you. Donation amounts begin at $10.
“Lights of Love truly holds a special place in my heart. This is a fundraiser and event that our entire hospital community looks forward to every year,” said Marie Lynn Watts, a Carson City Hospital employee and President of CCHA. Watts added, “All donations to auxiliary fundraisers are given directly back to the hospital to help fund various projects and fulfill patient needs. Contributions from previous Lights of Love campaigns total more than $60,000.”
The culminating event in the Lights of Love project is the popular family-oriented Christmas with the Auxiliary, which will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, in the hospital main lobby. This has always been a great event with many holiday activities to offer to all ages along with our dedication service. A new addition to Christmas with the Auxiliary will be a release of lit lanterns in recognition of cancer patients, survivors and victims. For information on purchasing a lantern, please contact Marcie Martin at (989) 584-3971, ext. 239.
If you are interested in recognizing someone special, donation envelopes are available at the surrounding Carson Health Network clinics and at the hospital.
