Support Hospice’s Tree of Light campaign

Show your support for the Tree of Light campaign, buy purchasing a globe for R40.

HIGHWAY Hospice’s Tree of Light, is one of the most important appeals of the year. It is a beautiful and touching ceremony and a time to remember loves ones who are no longer with us.

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. 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.The hospice also asks people to buy candles and light them 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.

Donors and the public are invited to buy a globe or globes for R40 each, honouring the memory of a loved one, as December is a special time of the year when people remember their loved ones at Christmas.

Contact Heather or Cathy on 031 208 6110 or e-mail: heather@hospice.co.za to buy a globe.
