Tree of Life Campaign 2009

Tree of Life Campaign 2009 

Believe it or not, it’s that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner and the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is hoping to light up the night again with our annual Tree of Life Campaign.

Our supporters have always been very generous when it comes to out Tree of Life campaign and we hope that we can count on your continued support. There is something magical about the Christmas season that brings out the best in people and we appreciate every bit of generosity that you send our way.

A bulb can be lit for as little as a $10.00 donation. All proceeds go towards the Hospital Foundation as we continue to financially support the capital needs of your hospital, which would otherwise be unattainable. Remember a loved one by brightening the tree or contribute just because it feels good to do so.

The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is a life line between you and your hospital and the needs are ongoing. New technology ages in dog years with equipment quickly becoming obsolete as it is replaced by bigger, better, faster and necessary equipment. This equipment is necessary in order to continue to provide the quality care patients deserve and have come to expect. The daily workings of your hospital create a need to constantly maintain and improve its interior.

Your generosity has an important impact on all those who walk through the doors. We hope you are able to help us reach our goals by making our Tree of Life shine brighter than ever before.

Thank you for helping your hospital help you!

Come Sail with us on the Ahoy Autumn!
