This holiday season, let your memories shine bright with the Aspirus Ironwood Auxiliary’s annual Tree of Love Ceremony — a cherished community tradition celebrating love, remembrance, and hope.
Each light on the Tree of Love honors or remembers someone special. With every donation, participants illuminate the tree in tribute to those who’ve touched their hearts. All proceeds benefit the healing mission of Aspirus, helping to provide compassionate care to those in need.
“This event reminds us that love endures — even through loss,” said Rae Kaare, Chief Administrative Officer for Aspirus Ironwood Hospital. “The Tree of Love gives our community a way to honor loved ones while supporting a cause that helps others heal.”
The Tree of Love Ceremony will take place on Monday, December 8, at 4:30 p.m. in the main entrance of Aspirus Ironwood Hospital. The celebration will include heartfelt music, guest speakers, refreshments, and the touching moment when the lights are illuminated in honor of those we cherish.
“The holidays can be both joyful and emotional,” shared Jenny Schouppe, Auxiliary Liaison. “The Tree of Love is a beautiful reminder our loved one’s light continues to shine through the lives they’ve touched.”
Donation forms are available at Aspirus Ironwood Hospital & Clinics as well as local businesses for anyone wishing to honor or remember a loved one. Submissions will be accepted through December 1, 2025.
