It may seem early to talk about Christmas events, but McLaren Port Huron Foundation just announced plans for the 2022 Festival of Trees.
Festival of Trees will take place in the hospital’s South Tower Lobby, a new tradition that was started during the COVID-19 pandemic. New this year is a free family movie night at McMorran Place Theatre on Sunday, December 11th at 1 PM.
In a press release, the hospital remarked that the decision to host the event at the hospital instead of returning to an off-site location was “in the spirit of serving our community in the best way possible.”
Before the pandemic, Festival of Trees was hosted at the Blue Water Convention Center and McMorran Place prior to that. The decision to move it to the hospital’s lobby hasn’t hampered the Foundation’s ability to raise funds during the event, and this year’s fundraising will support the purchase of new breast imaging equipment for the Demashkieh Women’s Wellness Place.
Tree designers have already been chosen, and the public can see their artistry by visiting McLaren Port Huron Hospital from Thanksgiving through the New Year.
