PRINCETON — The Perry Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Tree of Lights Committee kicked off its annual campaign at the Auxiliary Candy Cane event earlier this month.

Since 1990, more than $85,000 has been raised and donated to the hospital for needed equipment. This year, donations to the Tree of Lights will be used to purchase blood pressure cuffs for each patient room on the second floor of the hospital’s Family Acute Care Unit.

The Tree of Lights is a special tree located on the north side of the hospital. A donation to the Tree of Lights is a unique way to express appreciation by honoring loved ones, friends, teachers, special groups and others. It is also a special way to memorialize someone who has left behind countless memories and friendships.
