Light Up a Life for Valley Hospice

Program a chance to celebrate memories

RAYLAND -- The holidays are a time to cherish wonderful memories and create traditions with family and loved ones. For those who have experienced a loss, the holidays are also a time to celebrate the memory of those who are no longer with us.

Each holiday season, Valley Hospice decorates four Christmas trees throughout the Ohio Valley as part of its Light Up a Life fundraising campaign. The Light Up a Life trees offer individuals the opportunity to remember their loved ones, while supporting Valley Hospice and helping to bring comfort and care to their patients and their families.

Donors are given the opportunity to decorate a tag that will be placed on the tree of their choice. Trees are located at the Fort Steuben Mall, the Mary Jane Brooks Valley Hospice Care Center at Trinity Medical Center West in Steubenville, the Ohio Valley Mall and Valley Hospice Liza's Place Care Center South in Wheeling. A pewter heirloom keepsake ornament will be sent to anyone who donates $100 or more.
