[December 02, 2022]
A tree-lighting ceremony will conclude the Lincoln
Memorial Foundation’s 35th annual Light Up a Life campaign on Tuesday,
Dec. 13.
The ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. in front of the hospital, followed
by a grab-and-go soup supper. Pre-portioned containers of chicken noodle
soup or chili will be available for patrons to carry out and enjoy at
home.
Each year, thousands of individuals and groups are celebrated through
the Light Up a Life campaign, which invites the community to honor those
living, remember those who have passed away or show appreciation for
health care professionals. Last year, more than 500 families paid
tribute to more than 2,000 individuals, raising more than $31,000 to
support local health initiatives in Logan and Mason counties.
“The holiday season is a special time when we celebrate with loved ones
as well as honor the memories of those gone before. The Light Up a Life
campaign provides a wonderful opportunity to support local health care
by paying tribute to those who have and will continue to show us the
way,” said Rylie Sloan, executive director of the Lincoln Memorial
Foundation.
