The Hammond-Henry Hospital Auxiliary is once again sponsoring the Love Lights Tree which is on display at the corner of Wells St. and College Ave., Geneseo.

A dated ornament, designed for this year’s tree, is given to anyone making a qualified contribution to the Love Lights Tree in memory of a loved one. Contributions also may be made in honor of a special person in someone’s life.

The 2023 ornament was designed by local artist Susan Bos.

-Anyone making a contribution of up to $20 will receive an acknowledgement card, but not a dated ornament.

-Anyone making contributions of $20 to $99 will receive a card and a dated ornament.

-Anyone making contributions of $100 and above will receive a card, dated ornament

and will be acknowledged with a special light in the red heart at the top of the Love Lights Tree.

The tree is an Auxiliary fundraiser and funds received this year will be used to provide health career scholarships to local students enrolled in a medical field of study.

Donation forms and information are available at the hospital volunteer office, 309-944-9130, at the hospital website which is www.hammondhenry.com/lovelight or by email at volunteer@hammondhenry.com . Checks may be made payable to

The names of all donors and names of those being remembered and honored will be displayed at the main and east entrances of the hospital from Dec. 8, 2023, through Jan. 8, 2024.
