Celebrate Our Memories Ornament Sponsorship
Each holiday season Texas County Memorial Hospital Healthcare Foundation sponsors a giving program called “Celebrate Our Memories” in partnership with TCMH Hospice of Care. For every $25 donation received, an inscribed ornament will be placed on a nine-foot lit tree in the front lobby of the hospital during the holidays. A letter of recognition will be sent to you and the ornament will be yours to keep after the holiday season.

About the Program
Beginning in November, a nine-foot Christmas tree is placed in the front lobby of the hospital, which is decorated with various shaped ornaments that are “gifted” and inscribed with the name or a message in honor or in memory of someone special in their life. The Foundation divides all funds generated by the program with another TCMH entity-Hospice of Care, so the Christmas program actually benefits two local charitable organizations. The “Celebrate Our Memories” program took the place of the “Let Our Light Shine” program that TCMH has held on the hospital’s campus in recent years.
As part of Celebrate Our Memories, those who “gift” an ornament are invited to keep the ornament as a personal keepsake of their memory at the end of the holiday season, after the tree is removed from the hospital’s front lobby.
The tree is adorned with snowflakes, stars, and ball-shaped ornaments, which are available for adoption or gifting. Sponsorship of one ornament is $25, and anyone can gift as many ornaments as they wish. Ornaments can be gifted by groups or by individuals. Gifted ornaments can honor a group or an individual such as a teacher, a parent, a friend, or other loved one.
Hospice of Care uses the funding they receive from the program to provide hospice care, supplies and equipment for patients and their families in Texas county and surrounding areas. The Healthcare Foundation uses their portion of the funds in meeting a mission of ensuring the quality of healthcare services for children, women and men at the county hospital.
A letter of recognition will be sent to those who gift an ornament, and ornaments will be available for pick up at the hospital after the holiday season.
All proceeds from the program will remain in the area and directly impact the local community. Any donation made to the TCMH Healthcare Foundation or to Hospice of Care is tax deductible.
