20th ANNUAL HOSPICE OF SAN JOAQUIN “TREE OF LIGHTS” ILLUMINATES THE HOLIDAY SKY, NOV. 25

(Stockton)

The Hospice of San Joaquin and Delta College will illuminate the holiday sky with the 20th Annual “Hospice Tree of Lights” Ceremony, Nov. 25, 6 p.m. at Delta’s Pacific Ave entrance. This popular and festive ceremony rings in the season, illuminating the sky with thousands of multicolored lights.

A seasonal favorite, Delta’s magnificent 75-ft. evergreen blooms with color at the lighting ceremony. The event signals a dazzling opening to the holidays. The lights are strung each year with the generous participation of PG&E, and Delta staff.

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. Names will be displayed through December 31.

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.

To donate a light, call the Hospice of San Joaquin at, (209) 922-0242, or, visit Hospice of San Joaquin online at:
