πŸŽ„βœ¨ Embrace the Magic of the Season at Bethesda Hospital's Gifts of Light Tree Lighting Ceremony! πŸŒŸπŸŽ…

This Sunday evening, the Bethesda Hospital grounds in Steinbach MB Canada will be transformed into a winter wonderland as thousands of twinkling Christmas lights adorn the landscape. The annual Gifts of Light campaign, led by Linda Peters, Executive Director of the Bethesda Foundation, has once again captured the hearts of the community, making this year's celebration even more special.

Join us for a festive evening on Sunday from 4 to 6 PM, where the healing garden on the southeast corner of the hospital grounds will come alive with holiday spirit. Linda Peters expresses her gratitude for the overwhelming response to the Gifts of Light campaign, emphasizing that the event truly lives up to its name.

"Everybody is welcome to join us at the hospital. There will be horse-drawn wagon rides, hot dogs, hot chocolate, glow sticks, and jingle bell bracelets for the kiddos. Santa himself will make a special appearance, and the evening will be filled with Christmas caroling. The highlight, of course, will be the tree lighting ceremony followed by a spectacular fireworks display to end the night, and the best part – everything is free!"

Peters highlights the emotional impact of Gifts of Light on both hospital staff and patients. For those working at Bethesda, the twinkling lights provide a welcome boost during their early morning and late-night shifts. Patients, too, find solace and cheer during challenging times. The community at large has expressed joy from simply driving by the hospital and witnessing the festive lights, turning the Bethesda grounds into a beacon of happiness.

Beyond spreading joy, Gifts of Light serves as a crucial annual fundraiser for the Bethesda Foundation. This year's remarkable community support will contribute to purchasing essential equipment and furniture for the hospital, as well as supporting the construction of the new and expanded surgery department.

For those still interested in sponsoring a tree, Linda Peters encourages reaching out as soon as possible to ensure enough time for sign production before Christmas arrives. The continued support from the community ensures that Bethesda Hospital can embark on future projects and initiatives, further enhancing the quality of healthcare provided.

As we eagerly anticipate this Sunday's festivities, take a moment to reflect on the impact of Gifts of Lightβ€”a community coming together to brighten lives and make a difference during the holiday season. πŸŒ²β„οΈβœ¨
