RCH Auxiliary Memorial Tree Lights available

Since 1986, the RCH Auxiliary has sponsored a scholarship fundraiser during the Christmas season - the Annual Memorial Tree Lighting. Each year, the Auxiliary illuminates memorial lights in honor of a deceased loved one, which are listed in the Memorial Book for the public to view in the RCH front lobby.

The Memorial Tree Lighting gives family and friends a moment to reflect upon how loved ones have made such a difference in our lives and community; it is a beautiful and meaningful way to begin the holiday season. In 2020, we started the tradition of recording the Memorial Tree Lighting ceremony so all could listen in their homes at a time of their choosing and share again and again. The video will be available on RCH website and Facebook.

We hope that gifts to the Scholarship Fund will enable a scholarship recipient in a healthcare field of study to ease the pain of a loved one, find a cure for a dreaded disease, or even save a life.

Memorial lights are $5.00 per name. The Auxiliary also accepts donations to the Memorial Scholarship Fund. All gifts and donations are 100% tax deductible. If you would like to make a gift, please pick up a form in the RCH Lobby, Auxiliary Gift Shop, or contact Kathy Ramsay (785) 737-3590 or Sandi Rogers (785) 425-8445.
