Light Our Tree with Love This Holiday Season

For the past 35 years, the Friends of Sauk Prairie Healthcare has held its Love Lights program to acknowledge those we wish to commemorate, honor the individuals who presently influence our lives and recognize those who have served our county in one of the U.S. Military branches. Started in 1987 by the Hospital Auxiliary, now known as the Friends of Sauk Prairie Healthcare, the program provides people with the opportunity to express their gratitude by honoring the special people in their lives, both living and deceased, by sponsoring a light for a minimum $5 donation.
In addition, red, white, and blue lights will be strung to thank military personnel for their service. Please note, we will accept donations only until Nov. 18.
To reserve bulbs, send $5 for each name or $50 to be a sponsor by Nov. 18 to the Friends of SPH, 260 26th St., Prairie du Sac, WI 53578. List names “in memory of,” “in honor of,” or “to thank for military service” and be sure to include your name, phone number or email.
The tree-lighting program will begin at 5:45 p.m. on Dec. 5 at the Sauk Prairie Hospital Conference Center and will be followed by an outdoor tree-lighting ceremony with music. If community levels of COVID-19 rise at the time of the event, we will switch to a short outdoor-only program.
Love Light names will be displayed at the hospital on the electronic scroll throughout the holiday season. Printed lists will be available at the tree lighting ceremony or in the Sauk Prairie Hospital Gift Shop. Proceeds from this fundraiser support resources for our hospital and clinics. Questions can be directed to the SPH Volunteer office at (608) 643-7257.
