Annual Hospice of San Joaquin Tree of Lights Lighting Ceremony

Overview

The community is invited to join with family and friends to memorialize loved ones or to recognize the people who have impacted their lives by dedicating a light on the Tree of Lights!

Donations for Tree of Lights begin in October and are accepted through the end of the year. Your donation will light up our Tree of Lights and support Hospice of San Joaquin’s programs for terminally ill patients and their families.

Lighting ceremonies for 2025 are held in eight cities across San Joaquin County. Each ceremony reflects the uniqueness of the community and involves local organizations, offering an opportunity for community members to gather and reflect. Memory boards list the names of those recognized by the lights on the tree. Please join us in seeing how your donation lights up the lives of our patients and their families.
