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 $76,000 has been raised and donated to the hospital for needed equipment. This year, donations to the Tree of Lights will be used to purchase three wheelchairs for the Special Procedures Unit and an Interosseous Gun for the Emergency Department. This piece of equipment can be used to inject medication directly into the bone of a patient.

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.

A donation of $10 will light one light on the Tree of Lights. A contribution of $100 will light a special light on the star. When a donation of $20 or more is given, an acknowledgement card will be sent to the person or family the donation is honoring. A tax deductible receipt will also be sent when requested.

For more information, contact Deb Kirley at (815) 875-6565 or Nancy Smith at (815) 875-2270. Information is also available at the hospital gift shop and at Edward Jones Investments.
