Lights for Life December 2nd, 2015

Lights for Life presented by the Credit Unions in Prince County.

On December 2nd, the skies lit up over the Prince County Hospital with memories of loved ones.  Lights for Life gathered a crowd of hundreds in front of PCH to watch the lighting ceremony, remember loved ones and honour those still with us.  This annual Prince County Hospital Foundation fundraiser has raised over $3 million since it began in 1995; this year surpassing its highest total with $224,557.

Throughout the month of November Lights for Life gifts were made to the PCH Foundation in memory and in honour of loved ones. Every gifts has a dedication in honour or in memory of someone special and those dedications are gathered in a book that is handed out at the event. The gifts are represented by lights and displays placed on the outside of the hospital and on one special night each year, the lights are brought to life and will continue to be lit each night until December 31st.

Every dollar raised supports the purchase of medical equipment at PCH.  This brings the PCH Foundation closer to our goal of $2.71 million for 2015, though there is more to raise in 2015. Gifts are accepted for Lights for Life until December 31st. Donations can be made at pchcare.com, by calling (902) 432-2547 or visiting the PCH Foundation office in the hospital lobby.

For their continued support, the PCH Foundation wishes to thank all of the donors, sponsors, entertainers, volunteers and the many people who came to the lighting celebration.

Thank you for joining us for our 21st year of “Remembering Someone You Love.”

From now until December 31st, the lights will illuminate PCH each evening from 5pm until midnight.
