Musos to perform at Hospice’s Tree of Light
Show your support for the Tree of Light campaign, by purchasing a globe for R40.
HIGHWAY Hospice’s Tree of Light, is one of the most important appeals of the year. This beautiful and touching ceremony is a time to remember loves ones who are no longer with us.
It’s a special occasion for patients and their families who have been dealing with advanced, incurable diseases, including HIV, within the greater Durban area, to reflect on the year or years that have gone by. It also brings people together and teaches them about love and loss.
This year’s event at Jameson Park (opposite Mitchell Park) on Friday, 28 November at 6pm starts with music with a Christmas theme supplied by dedicated volunteer musicians.
Adding to bit of glitz and glamour to the evening is music by Dave Burch, Bernie Davenport, Mim Erasmus, Deez ‘n Beez and Collin Rule.
There’s also food stalls but you are welcome to take along a picnic basket, as well as a blanket and don’t forget your umbrella in case it rains. A few tents will be erected for shelter just in case. Hospice also sells candles that evening for people to light it on the night.
The actual lighting of the tree takes place at 7.45pm (weather permitting) when more than 9000 globes light up with a soft radiance. The tree will shine throughout December.
Dedications cost R40 a globe. If you have a loved one who you would like to remember in this beautiful and touching tribute, contact Heather or Cathy on 031 208 6110 or e-mail: heather@hospice.co.za to buy a globe.
