Brazosport Regional Volunteers
Host Tree of Remembrance Ceremony
Brazosport Regional Volunteers host their annual Tree of Remembrance Ceremony on Thursday, December 8 at 5:00 PM. Memorial gifts provide an enduring way to celebrate the life of a person who has touched your life and in turn, your gift goes on to improve the lives of others.
This year, The Jazz Singers, under the direction of Rodney Mason, Director of Choral and Keyboard Activities at Brazosport College, will perform special Christmas music and will lead the audience in carols.
The Tree of Remembrance Ceremony began in 1985 when volunteer Bettie Ross created a memorial service to recognize deceased volunteers. Mrs. Ross envisioned having a tree with white lights shining brightly in front of the hospital and designating a light for each volunteer. What started out as a small 6 foot tree is now a 25 foot tree that lights up the front of the hospital all month long.
Now, the Tree of Remembrance has grown to provide donors the opportunity to remember an individual with a gift upon the person’s death, birthday, or anniversary. A memorial gift honors a loved one’s life and serves to reflect upon the memories that live forever. At the same time, a memorial gift also helps improve healthcare in our community. With just a $5 contribution, a light will be placed on a tree for your honoree.
This unique way to donate works to improve the lives of all community members. Please join the Brazosport Regional Volunteers in the Tree of Remembrance Ceremony on Thursday, December 8 at 5:00 PM in the newly remodeled main lobby at the Health System. Holiday refreshments and entertainment will be provided. To create a lasting memorial for someone, please call the Auxiliary Office at 979-285-1185.
