Light-A-LightThe Light-A-Light project, the oldest Friends fund-raising event, was created in 1989 by founding members of the board. Anyone can “light a light“ on the Batson Hospital Christmas Tree with a $10 contribution. These brightly colored lights shine on the large tree in front of the children's hospital. An acknowledgment card will be sent to the honoree or to the family of the person memorialized. There is also a separate tree of Eternal Lights that you may also choose to light with a special contribution of $250. Eternal Lights shine brightly every year with the name of the person honored. Each Eternal Light honoree will be remembered annually at the lighting of the tree. You can give a loving gift to the sick and injured children of Mississippi and honor your loved ones when you “light a light“ on the Batson Hospital Christmas tree. Please light a light to shine for the patients at Mississippi's ONLY children's hospital. Light-A-Light culminates with a ceremony celebrating the official lighting of the Batson Hospital Christmas Tree. This magical event gives the patients and contributors a chance to be together and celebrate the holidays. Linda Allen from WJTV News Channel 12 helped Colby Barrett, this year's CMN Champion light both trees on December 4th. The children's hospital was decorated inside and out for the holiday season. Please call 601-984-5273 if you would like more information about next year's Light-A-Light for Children. |
