Aspirus Health Foundation Encourages Community to Honor Loved Ones Through Lights of Love Donations by November 18

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. - Aspirus Health Foundation invites the community to participate in its annual Lights of Love fundraiser, a meaningful way to honor or remember loved ones during the holiday season. Lights purchased in memory or honor of someone special will be displayed on the Lights of Love trees in the corner lot of 3rd Street and Dewey Street.

"For 25 years, Lights of Love has brought our community together in moments of reflection, connection, and healing," said Ryan Lown, Chief Administrative Officer, Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids. "This milestone anniversary is a powerful reminder of the compassion that surrounds our patients and families, especially during times of loss or challenge. The support raised through Lights of Love continues that legacy, helping patients feel comforted, cared for, and reminded that they are never alone."

Proceeds benefit the Wisconsin Rapids Patient Assistance Fund, supporting critical health initiatives such as substance abuse recovery, behavioral and mental health services, patient comfort, food systems, and cancer care.

Lights may be purchased year-round for $3 each, with silver ($25) and gold ($100+) levels available. To be included in this year’s donor list, orders must be received by November 1. Orders placed after that date will be recognized in next year’s listing.

Order forms are available at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital’s main lobby and Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Clinic – Peach Street.

Online orders can be placed at weblink.donorperfect.com/WRLightsOfLove2025. For more information, visit aspirus.org/classes-events.
