Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston will hold its annual Tree of Lights ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 5 p.m. at People’s United Bank on 1 Conant St. in Danvers Square.
The Tree of Lights is an event that invites members of the greater Danvers community to sponsor a light in memory or in honor of a loved one with a donation to support the mission of Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston.
Immediately following the tree lighting ceremony, there will be a reception inside the bank where guests will be able to view the Honor Roll Book inscribed with the names of those memorialized on the tree.
“Seeing a loved one’s name in the book is often an emotional moment, yet at the same time, very healing for many of the people who attend,” said Diane Stringer, president of Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston.
“During the holidays, our hearts and minds focus on family, friends and loved ones,” said Stringer. “Designating a light in honor of someone, whether they’ve been a hospice patient or not, helps people remember them during the holiday season when their absence is felt even more profoundly.” Charitable donations go directly towards Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston’s mission to support patients and families affected by life-threatening illness, death and loss.
