Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital Annual Festival of Trees Raises Funds for Women’s Health
Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital welcomes the holiday season with its annual Festival of Trees this month.
Decorating takes place Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15 and 16.
The Festival of Trees tradition began three years ago to celebrate the holiday season and raise money for hospital programs that serve the community. This year’s event will feature 16 trees decorated by hospital departments, community groups, and businesses. Funds raised will go toward Platte Valley Women’s Health programs including increasing coordination and access to mental health for women.
Groups will come to the hospital between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday to decorate their trees.
The beautifully decorated trees will be on display in the main hallway near the front entrance of the hospital, 1600 Prairie Center Parkway, Brighton. From Nov. 18 to Dec. 8, people can buy raffle tickets and use those to win their favorite tree. Tickets are $50 for one or $100 for 3.
From 1 to 3 p.m. on Dec. 8, the hospital will host a holiday tea in the bistro. The $50 entry includes one raffle ticket, crafts, music, and refreshments. The winning ticket for each tree will be drawn during the holiday tea. Each tree then will be wrapped in protective plastic so the winner can take it home and display it for the holiday season.
This year’s tree themes include O Holy Night, The Grinch, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Candyland, White Christmas, and Santa Paws which is organized by participants in the hospital’s pet therapy program.
In 2023, the hospital displayed 10 trees and raised about $10,000 from the event.
