Light up a Life
A special way to remember loved ones and support hospice care at Christmas
Remembering loved ones at Christmas
Each year at Christmas time, Light up a Life offers a meaningful way to remember someone special while supporting the care we provide for patients and families in our community.
By making a dedication, you help light up our hospice Christmas tree in memory of loved ones. Each dedication is a symbol of love, remembrance and hope — shared both at the hospice and in your own home.

How Light up a Life works
Taking part in Light up a Life is simple and meaningful:
- You make a dedication in memory of someone special
- Your dedication is placed on our Light up a Life tree
- You receive a dedication to keep and hang on your own Christmas tree
- Your support helps fund compassionate hospice care
Every dedication helps us continue caring for patients and families during the most difficult times of their lives.
A dedication that lasts beyond Christmas
Light up a Life is about more than a single moment. It’s a way to keep the memory of someone special close during the festive season and beyond.
Many people tell us that placing their dedication on their own Christmas tree becomes a treasured tradition — a quiet reminder of love, connection and remembrance.
Light up a Life Remembrance Events
As part of the appeal, we hold special Light up a Life events where people are invited to come together to remember loved ones and light a candle in their memory.
These quiet, reflective events take place atdifferent locations, offering a peaceful space to pause, remember and reflect during the Christmas season.
Each event includes:
- The lighting of candles in memory of loved ones
- A moment of reflection and remembrance
- The opportunity to come together with others who understand
You are welcome to attend one or more events, and everyone is invited to take part.
