 All
are welcome to attend this year's event, which will be at Abraham
Lincoln Memorial Hospital
on Tuesday, Dec. 3, starting at 5:30 p.m.
Participants may gather inside the ALMH lobby and then proceed to
the hospital's east-side patio. Once outside, they will light a
candle, sing along with cherished Christmas tunes and, if they
wish, share the names of those they honored or memorialized. A
complimentary soup and chili dinner will follow in the adjacent
Woods Cafe.
The Rev. Dr. Robert Henderson, hospital chaplain, will lead the service,
and ALMH Auxilian Linda McCuan will lead the singing. Dave and Diane
Campbell were named as this year's honorary chairpersons.
Each Light Up A Life tribute directly benefits patient care in
Logan County. The suggested donation of $10 per name may also be
designated to purchase medical equipment at ALMH, support needs of
Logan and Mason County patients served by Memorial Home Services
hospice care, fund scholarships for future ALMH health care
providers, or expand the new Moving Forward weight loss program so
that more community members can participate for a very reasonable
fee.
"As the years have passed, the campaign has grown and changed," said Marty Ahrends,
executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation. "This year we
have offered the opportunity to support Logan-Mason Rehab so that intellectually
disabled clients may be taken to community events. These activities provide
positive, integrated growth experiences,” Ahrends said.
