News Release:

    (Washington, NC) – The 28th annual Lights of Love tree lighting ceremony at Vidant Beaufort Hospital will be held on Tuesday, December 3rd at 6:00 p.m. The community is invited to attend this special event, which will occur in front of the hospital at 628 East 12th Street in Washington and then move indoors.

    The celebration will feature musical entertainment by the John Small School Chorus and there will be a special appearance by Santa Claus. Children will have the opportunity to share their Christmas wishes and have their picture taken with Santa free of charge.

    A part of the Lights of Love tradition is the annual children's art contest. Each year, Beaufort County students from kindergarten-through-fifth grade are invited to participate. Prizes are awarded for first, second and third place from each grade and one work of art will be selected as Best in Show and will be featured on the hospital’s annual Christmas card. All of the children’s artwork will be displayed in the hospital on 1st floor hallway and will be up through the end of the year.

    Lights of Love was established in 1986 as a means for members of the community to celebrate or remember a loved one during the holiday season. Today, Lights of Love is a year-round project that allows generations of individuals and families to give back to Beaufort Hospital while commemorating a variety of creative and traditional events. Donations to Lights of Love are used to fund projects that promote health care education, improve community wellness, support and enhance patient care, and provide amenities that make our hospital more comfortable for patients and visitors. For a minimum tax-deductible contribution of $5 or more, one can honor or remember a special person in their life with a light that will shine on our Lights of Love tree.
