The lights were officially lit on the giant Christmas tree in the Dr. F.H.Wigmore Regional Hospital lobby, thanks again to the generosity of Murray GM.
The Moose Jaw Health Foundation lights up the holidays with a giant Rockefeller tree in the hospital lobby and is designed after the famous tree in Rockefeller Plaza in New York. The tree is 18 feet high and eight feet wide at its base with over 2,900 brilliant LED lights for patients and their families to enjoy.
Each festival, the foundation auctions the naming sponsorship of the "Light Up the Holidays Tree" at Festival of Trees and for a number of years in a row, Murray GM has been the winning bidder with a $16,600 sponsorship this year. With the help of the Murray GM, patients and their families will feel the true spirit of giving during the holiday season. Although the season is one of celebration, there are many who are in the hospital and unable to enjoy Christmas so bringing a bit of light and joy to their hearts is something heart-warming.
Funds from the Rockefeller Tree will go toward the urology campaign to purchase the next generation of urological surgical equipment.
In the last six years, the Light Up the Holidays Tree has been sponsored by Murray GM and has raised over $103,350 to help patients at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital. Every donation makes a difference, regardless of the size. Every dollar raised in Moose Jaw will stay here to help patients in need of urological procedures.
