19th ANNUAL HOSPICE OF SAN JOAQUIN “TREE OF LIGHTS” ILLUMINATES THE HOLIDAY SKY

 

(Stockton)

 

The Hospice of San Joaquin and Delta College will illuminate the holiday sky with the 19th annual “Hospice Tree of Lights” ceremony,

Nov. 20, 6-7pm at Delta’s Pacific Ave entrance. This popular and festive ceremony rings in the season, illuminating the holiday sky with thousands of multicolored lights.

 

Family and friends are invited to remember and honor loved ones by dedicating a light on the “Tree of Lights.”  Names of honorees and donors are placed on a marquee at the base of the tree. A seasonal Stockton favorite, the magnificent 75 ft. tree comes alive with color at the lighting ceremony, illuminating the holiday season. The lights are strung each year with the generous participation of PG&E.

 

Proceeds from this event help Hospice of San Joaquin provide the highest level of care for terminally ill patients, their families and the bereaved of our community.
