(11/26/2013)   McLeod Health Foundation, supporting McLeod Loris Seacoast, will hold its annual "Lights of Love" Tree Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, December 10, at 5:45 p.m. The ceremony will be held in the courtyard at McLeod Loris.

Lights are available with gifts to McLeod Health Foundation of $25 each. Sponsorships are also available for $1,000 in honor of or memory of an individual. One hundred percent of each gift is tax-deductible. Please call the McLeod Health Foundation office at (843)390-8215 or visit www.mcleodfoundation.org if you are interested in purchasing a light or becoming a sponsor. Individuals, groups and organizations are encouraged to participate by supporting McLeod Loris Seacoast in this meaningful way.

The "Lights of Love" program is sponsored by the McLeod Health Foundation to directly fund items needed for McLeod Loris Seacoast to meet the critical health care needs of our community. While the lights on the tree will brighten the community this season, the gifts they represent will help bring the light of hope to McLeod Loris Seacoast patients and their families.

You do not have to purchase a light to attend the Tree Lighting Ceremony. Entertainment will be provided by the Loris High School choral ensemble and light refreshments will be served after the ceremony.

For more information about the "Lights of Love" Tree Lighting Ceremony, please call (843) 390-8215.
