The glowing tradition of the OSF HealthCare St. Francis Hospital Auxiliary “Lights of Love” annual campaign has kicked off for the 2025 holiday season to honor loved ones and pets.
The lights will adorn a set of three trees along US Highway 2 & 41 and shine throughout the Christmas Season from December 1 to 31, representing gifts of honor and recognition.
“Lights of Love is a beloved tradition as well as a beautiful way to honor or remember a loved one, be it a family member, coworker, or friend during the holiday season,” said Jean Arvan, Director of Philanthropy at OSF St. Francis. Adding, “The funds raised by our Auxiliary make a meaningful impact to help support the hospital.” Recent examples of support provided by the OSF St. Francis Hospital Auxiliary include the addition of new benches in the serenity garden and new respiratory therapy equipment.
Each memorial light is $5 and can be purchased vial mail-in form available in select Daily Press editions, at St. Francis Hospital’s front desk, online at osfstfrancis.org/lights or through scanning the QR code available on our flyers (attached).
