The tree lighting is a way that OAH memorializes all of those they have served during life's transition. It is a chance for their families to come together remember them for the light they were in so many lives.

Purchase a "light" in memory or honor of a loved one

One of the special parts of this annual tradition is the opportunity to make a $5 contribution to Ogeechee Area Hospice to purchase a "light" on the Christmas tree in memory or to honor a loved one. You can continue to purchase the lights throughout this season by sending a check to Ogeechee Area Hospice, P.O. Box 531, Statesboro, GA 30459. Please put the name of the person you are remembering and who it is given by.

Ogeechee Area Hospice is a tremendous gift from our community to our community.
