This holiday season, remember someone you love and celebrate a revered Island tradition, when the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary marks the 25th anniversary of its Tree of Lights fundraiser to benefit Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.

Every December, a tree at the hospital is lit with hundreds of lights, each donated in honor or in memory of a loved one. As construction of the new hospital continues, this tradition endures.

The tree lighting ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 10. The Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary invites the public at 4 p.m. in the main lobby of the hospital.

Lights may be purchased for $15 each in memory or in honor of an individual. Perpetual lights may be purchased for a donation of $150. All contributions are tax deductible. Checks should be made payable to the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary and mailed to: MV Hospital Volunteer Office, P.O. Box 1477, Oak Bluffs, MA 02557 or dropped off at the hospital.
