The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation is gearing up to transform the main lobby of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital-Sulphur Springs into a winter wonderland with their annual Snowflake Campaign. This festive initiative invites the community to honor or remember loved ones through a special donation.
Participants are encouraged to contribute $25 or more to recognize an individual, and in return, the Foundation will send a card notifying the honoree or designated contact of the thoughtful gesture. The hospital's main lobby will be adorned with hand-cut snowflakes, each bearing the name of the person being acknowledged.
The tradition, now in its third year, has become a cherished part of the holiday season for donors and honorees alike. Originating from the Lights of Life movement, which initially involved sponsoring lights on a tree, the campaign has evolved to feature luminarias and, more recently, beautifully crafted snowflakes.
The snowflakes, now dotting the hospital's windows and glass walls, create a magical scene alongside a towering 12-foot Christmas tree adorned with gold baubles. The recommended donation of $25 per person honored not only makes for a delightful seasonal gift but also serves as a meaningful way to express remembrance or appreciation.
Donations can be made by mail or online at the Snowflake Campaign webpage Snowflake2023.givesmart.com. Contributors are asked to provide contact information for the donor and the individuals to be notified, along with specifying whether the gift is in honor of or in memory of the person.
The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, a registered IRS 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, encourages the community to join in this heartwarming holiday tradition of spreading joy and remembrance.
