ALMH Light Up A Life tree lighting ceremony tonight at 6

[May 10, 2011]  It's not too late to be a part of a historic Light Up A Life, the 22nd annual campaign honoring and paying tribute to loved ones. This year will be the last ceremony at the current location of Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Each person honored or remembered is represented by a white light on the trees and bushes in front of the hospital.

There will be a brief outdoor ceremony at 6 tonight (Tuesday), as the lights are first turned on. They will remain on throughout the holiday season as a reminder of those most dear to us.

After the ceremony, all attendees are invited inside for a bowl of chicken noodle soup or chili.

Proceeds from Light Up A Life benefit patient care at ALMH. Gifts may be designated to purchase medical equipment at ALMH, fund scholarships for future ALMH health care providers, support operations of the HOPE Mobile, provide unrestricted support for future ALMH needs or aid in offsetting the cost of pain medications for hospice patients living in Logan and eastern Mason County.

Everyone who purchases a tribute gift will have it listed in the Lincoln Courier tabloid published on Christmas Eve and online at Lincoln Daily News.

Donation forms are available in the lobby, or call the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation office at 732-5068 to have a form sent to your home.
