Lights of Love is one of two major fundraisers for Virgie Hegg Hospice Foundation. VHHF relies on donor support through fundraisers, memorials and honorariums to grant all requests that come to the organization.

The Annual Lights of Love Campaign has kicked off in November with tree lighting ceremonies commencing in December each year. In recent years the communities of Cook, Orr and Tower host tree lighting ceremonies with participation from local clergy and community choirs. Caroling and coffee fellowship follows at each site.

This year’s tree lighting ceremonies will be determined soon and posted here.

Lights of Love is a wonderful opportunity to remember and honor loved ones by supporting quality hospice care in our local areas. Memorials and donations can be made in any amount starting at $5. Any donation that is received in the amount of $100 or more will result in your loved one’s name being placed on our memorial plaque at the Cook Hospital.

With the theme of “lights”, we have three levels of donations starting with $5 – Bulb; $10 – Ice Candle; $25 String of lights. You don’t actually purchase these things, it is just a way to choose what level you want to support hospice.  Donations may be given in honor or in memory of a loved one(s).

Tree lighting ceremonies will be held this year on the following dates:

~ Cook Gazebo on Friday December 6th at 6 pm

~ Orr Center on Saturday December 7 at 6:30 pm.
