Hospice of the East Bay invites the public to participate in its 26th annual Tree of Lights ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. in Brentwood City Park, 710 Second St. A reception will follow the event, which is intended for residents of Antioch, Brentwood, Byron, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, Oakley and Pittsburg.

Tree of Lights ceremony features music, poetry, remembrances by family members and friends of Hospice, and the special moment when the tree floods City Park with enchanting light.

Lights can be dedicated for a minimum gift of $25, and donors of $100 or more have the option of getting their name listed in the event’s program. Tax-deductible tree sponsorships range from $250 to $10,000. Proceeds from Tree of Lights ceremonies benefit our communities and the patients and families in the care of Hospice of the East Bay.

Established in 1977, Hospice of the East Bay is a nonprofit agency that helps people cope with the end of life by providing medical, emotional, spiritual and practical support for patients and families, regardless of their ability to pay.
