For the past 40 years, the Friends of Community Hospice has proudly hosted Light Up a Life, a cherished holiday tree lighting ceremony. This year there will be three ceremonies, specifically in Turlock, Oakdale, and Modesto.

These meaningful evenings offer families, friends, and the community a time for reflection, healing, and hope. In addition to the tree lighting ceremony, guests may honor loved ones by purchasing a personalized ornament. These heartfelt tributes support the mission of Community Hospice while enhancing the spirit of the event.

Proceeds from these purchases support the mission of Community Hospice, which is to embrace individuals facing life changing journeys, enhancing quality of life for all.

The Turlock event will be held starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Turlock Memorial Park and Funeral Home, 575 N. Soderquist Rd. The Oakdale event will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday at Wood Park, located at the corner of Yosemite Avenue and F Street. The Modesto event will be held at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Sutter Health Memorial Medical Center, 1700 Coffee Rd.

This event is free of charge and open to all. To purchase a personalized ornament or for sponsorship opportunities, visit bit.ly/LUAL2025 or call 209-578-6370.
