TROY – After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the FirstHealth Montgomery Memorial Hospital Auxiliary will sponsor its 33rd Annual Love Light Tree Celebration, an event that marks the beginning of the hospital’s holiday season.
Scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 6:15 p.m. at the hospital’s main entrance, the 2022 Love Light ceremony will continue a long-standing tradition in the hospital community.
Acknowledgments noting each Love Light recognition will be mailed to the person being recognized or to a designee along with an invitation to the special tree-lighting ceremony and reception. Anyone who dedicates a light and those being recognized with a light are invited to attend the program.
The ceremony will open with a prelude of holiday music presented by the FirstHealth Montgomery Choir. A special “tree-lighter,” whose identity is always kept secret until the ceremony, will then light the tree. Afterward, the FirstHealth Montgomery Choir will continue a program of holiday music while refreshments are served.
The cost of a single Love Light Tree dedication is $5, and proceeds will help fund various Auxiliary projects and events. These programs include the Teddy Bear Affair for area first-graders and a health care scholarship fund.
To reserve a light, call Joy Fish at (910) 571-5014 or Michelle Millen at (910) 571-5116 by December 6.
