Hospice Tree of Lights celebrates 40th Anniversary

October 28, 2026 By Publisher Leave a Comment

Source: Hospice Tree of Lights

November 2nd – December 4th, 2026 at multiple locations throughout the county

By Hospice East Bay

For forty years, our Tree of Lights ceremonies have offered members of the communities we serve a way to honor the lives of their friends and loved ones. Your donations directly support end-of-life patient care.

Note: The beloved oak trees that have stood at the heart of our Pleasant Hill and Martinez Tree of Lights ceremonies for generations fell last year due to natural causes. Hospice East Bay has found a new tree for the Pleasant Hill ceremony. However, this year the Martinez ceremony will be combined with the Concord/Clayton ceremony.
