LAURIUM, Mich. – Begin your holiday season with love and memories by joining the Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital Auxiliary for the 25th annual Tree of Love ceremony.
The Tree of Love program is a heart-warming way to remember and/or honor someone special by purchasing a light, bell, angel or star ornament in their name. All names are showcased year-round on a special Tree of Love display at the hospital.
Tree of Love donation forms are available at all Aspirus locations in Laurium, Lake Linden and Houghton, and at several area businesses. Donation forms can be mailed to the Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital Auxiliary, 205 Osceola St., Laurium, MI, 49913. They can also be dropped off at a help desk at the hospital and clinic in Laurium. All forms must be received by November 26 to be included on the Tree of Love display. All proceeds support the healing mission of Aspirus.
“While the holidays are a special and joyous time of year for many, they can also bring sadness, especially for those who have lost someone close,” said Jenn Jenich-Laplander, volunteer and community relations coordinator for Aspirus Keweenaw. “This is such a wonderful and meaningful way to celebrate loved ones and find some peace during the holiday season.”
On Sunday, Dec. 9, everyone is invited to Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital for the Tree of Love Ceremony. The ceremony takes place at 2 p.m. and includes holiday music, guest speakers, tree lighting, and snacks and refreshments. The event is free and open to the public.
