NORTHAMTON, Mass. – On Sunday, Nov. 20 at 4:30 p.m., community members are invited to Cooley Dickinson Hospital’s main entrance to participate in the 13th annual Trees of Love & Thanksgiving tree lighting ceremony. At this festive event, 2,000 lights will be lit. Music will be provided by the Green Street Brew and the Horse Mountain Jazz Band; refreshments will be available.
 
Proceeds from last year’s fundraiser funded the purchase of 10 infant car beds for underweight newborns.
 
This year’s campaign will go toward projects including a chemotherapy chair for the new Cancer Care Center; a specialty mattress for the Cardiovascular Suite; a “Neo-Puff” for the Childbirth Center, equipment that helps infants in respiratory distress; and a privacy screen for the hospital’s chapel relocation project.
 
The Trees of Love & Thanksgiving project is sponsored by the Pastoral Care Committee and the CDH Auxiliary. Donor forms are available at all hospital information desks and in the Pastoral Care office. For more information, call Robin Kline, director of Volunteer Services, (413) 582-2251 or email Robin_Kline@cooley-dickinson.org
