Tree of Love

 

Sampson Regional's Tree of Love is illuminated throughout the holiday season, each light representative of a tribute gift made in honor or memory of someone special. This year, we continue our treasured tradition with our expanded special tree display. Seventeen Tribute Trees will be lit alongside the large Tree of Love on the hospital front lawn. This lighted display is a beautiful way to honor and remember loved ones.

This treasured tradition now includes a complimentary family-friendly event on  the first Sunday in December.  All are invited to participate as we celebrate the special holiday season.

Tribute gifts to the Tree of Love can be made anytime throughout the year in honor or in memory of loved ones, colleagues, church members, friends, and family. We'll send a keepsake card to the recipient of your choice, acknowledging your tribute gift in their name.

Funds raised through this year's Tree of Love will benefit the Sampson Regional Medical Center Blood Donor Center. Did you know SampsonRMC is one of only three hospital-operated blood donor centers in North Carolina? Funds will introduce upgraded equipment and processes that will enable our blood bank to package leukocyte-reduced blood. Leukocyte reduction is not just an enhancement; it's the gold standard. By filtering blood prior to transfusion, we can offer better therapeutic benefits to patients and significantly improve clinical outcomes for those receiving blood transfusions. Blood donation is vital to helping save the lives of our family, friends, and neighbors.

By donating to the Tree of Love campaign you're not just gifting money- you're gifting life, hope, and a future. Your generous contributions will make a difference to the countless individuals relying on blood transfusions.

Gifts received in excess of project needs will be thoughtfully and responsibly allocated by the Foundation Board to other priority projects within the hospital that help advance healthcare in our community.

 

Sunday, December 3rd  |  4-6pm  |  Tree Lighting at 5pm

The Tree of Love is a treasured Sampson County tradition. This year, Sampson Regional looks forward to continuing its new holiday light display and family-friendly event.

We invite you to join this complimentary event filled with family fun on the hospital front lawn to celebrate the beginning of this special season.

The Tree of Love is illuminated in early December, and the lights continue burning each night throughout the holiday season. Each light is representative of a tribute gift made in honor or memory of someone special. All funds raised will support new equipment for the Blood Donor Center. 
Gifts received in excess of project needs will be thoughtfully and responsibly allocated by the Foundation Board to other priority projects within the hospital that help advance healthcare in our community.

The Tree of Love is an annual project of the SampsonRMC Foundation that was started more than 30 years ago by the Sampson County Medical Society Alliance. The hospital foundation took ownership of the Tree of Love in 2006. Since that time, more than $200,000 has been raised to support various hospital projects, including medical equipment and renovations.

The Tree of Love is illuminated on the first Sunday in December, and the lights continue burning each night throughout the holiday season. Each light on the Tree of Love is representative of a tribute gift made in honor or memory of someone special. Collectively, these gifts represent caring and remembrance during the holiday season.

We offer gratitude to our generous donors and give tribute to those honored and memorialized through the 2022 Tree of Love.
