The Sheep River Health Trust's Points of Light program is designed to support palliative care patients and their families during their greatest time of need, by providing special equipment, support programs and the Loaner Pool.
Contributors make a donation in honour or memory of loved ones to purchase a Christmas tree bulb, which becomes a Point of Light on one of several inspiring Christmas trees in the community. Following Christmas, the names of all donors and their special people are presented in the local newspaper in tribute.
Funds raised through this campaign go directly into Palliative Care and excess funds go to the Greatest Need Fund and charitable tax receipts are issued for donations over $15.
At just $15 for one light, $25 for two or $30 for three, it's a small cost for the immense honour of recognizing those special people who are points of light in your life. Visit:
