The 3rd Annual “Light up a Life” event offers community members the opportunity to celebrate the life of a loved one during the holiday season. Each donation lights one bulb in memory of one person on the memory tree. Donation forms are available at area churches, businesses and on the web at www.northshorehealthcarefoundation.org/carepartners.
A tree lighting ceremony will be held at the main clinic/ hospital entrance at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6. Rev. Kris Garry of Trinity Lutheran will assist with a short ceremony of reflection and connection. Music will be provided by Bump and Barbara Jean. Refreshments will follow.
The event is organized by Care Partners, a collaborative of the North Shore Health Care Foundation, North Shore Hospital and Sawtooth Mountain Clinic, to fund palliative care and end of life services in Cook County.
