The glowing tradition of the OSF HealthCare St. Francis Hospital Auxiliary “Lights of Love” annual campaign has kicked off once again and is now accepting commemorative recognitions through December 31, 2024.
This year, the lights will adorn a set of new trees along US Highway 2 & 41 and shine throughout the Christmas Season, representing gifts of honor and recognition.
While traditionally the lights are purchased in honor or memory of someone, there is an additional tree designated for pet remembrances.
“Lights of Love is a beloved tradition as well as a beautiful way to honor or remember a loved one, be it a family member, coworker, or friend during the holiday season,” said Jean Arvan, Director of Philanthropy at OSF St. Francis.
Adding, “The funds raised by our Auxiliary make a meaningful impact to help support the hospital.”
Recent examples of support provided by the SFH Auxiliary have included funding a portion of the hospital’s rehabilitation walkway this year, as well as a private family waiting room in the Emergency Department and a new ultrasound machine for the Surgery Department in recent years.
Each memorial light is $5 and can be purchased at the St. Francis Hospital’s front desk, online at osfstfrancis.org/lights
