Milford Regional Plans Tree of Life Event

The Milford Regional Healthcare
Foundation will once again hold its Tree of Life fundraiser on
Monday, December 9 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the hospital located at 14
Prospect St. in Milford.

This
special evening celebrates the life and care of those patients and
families affected by cancer. Proceeds benefit the Oliva Fund, which
provides resources to support patients who are being treated at
Milford Regional and the Dana-Farber/Brigham Cancer Center and their
families.

The
December 9 event kicks off with refreshments and entertainment in the
Atrium Café, located on the main floor of the hospital, followed by
a brief speaking and indoor tree lighting ceremony.

Those
who wish to donate to the Tree of Life may purchase an angel to be
hung on the Christmas tree to honor or in memory of someone affected
by cancer. Gift levels include $200 for a gold angel, $100 for a
silver angel, $50 for a luminary or $25 for a light. Contributions
may be made online at foundation.milfordregional.org/treeoflife and
must be received by December 4 to be included in the program.

“Year
after year, attendees convey to me how meaningful our Tree of Life
ceremony is by providing them the opportunity to reflect and honor a
loved one’s journey after a cancer diagnosis,” said Milford
Regional Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the
Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation Emily Quinn. “It’s also a
time to be thankful for the significant advancements the medical
community has made to fight this disease that has affected so many in
our lives.”
