Your support makes all the difference!

For twenty-six years, our Tree of Lights ceremonies have offered members of communities throughout Contra Costa a way to celebrate and memorialize the lives of their friends and loved ones. In addition, the funds raised allow us to offer bereavement services at no charge for everyone in the community, and support the Vigil Program which ensures no one has to die alone.

By dedicating a Memorial Light for a minimum gift of $25, you can honor someone you love while directly supporting end-of-life patient care. Memorial donors of $100 and higher will have their names listed in the ceremony program. Shining Light Sponsors can support a specific ceremony with gifts starting at $250 and will be listed on the ceremony program of their choice and recognized in Hospice Matters – our newsletter sent to 6,000 residents. Guiding Light Sponsors with a $5,000 - $10,000 gift may dedicate a tree to their loved one and be recognized in all tree lighting ceremony programs, as well as Hospice of the East Bay’s website and annual report.

We always look forward to seeing you at a tree lighting ceremony, and are grateful for your friendship and support. If you or your community group wish to get involved, please contact Kathy Kavanagh, Community Liaison, at 925-887-5678.
