Lights of Love 2025

Our community continues to navigate a difficult period by coming together to support one another through change, challenge and loss. As always, knowing there is light among the darkness brings us courage and hope. For more than 20 years, this has been the heart of our Lights of Love campaign.

Lights of Love traditionally welcomes the holiday season with the lighting of the evergreens in front of Henry Ford Jackson Hospital. Members of the Jackson and South

Central Michigan community join us by sponsoring a “light” in celebration or memory of a friend, family member, pet or other loved one.

Please join us for the virtual event this year, as well as review our online scroll that will be shareable with friends and family through email or on social media.

Thank you for illuminating your love with a gift to remember someone you have lost, thank a friend who made a positive difference in your life, or simply brighten someone’s day.

Gifts to Lights of Love support Henry Ford Jackson Hospital Hospice, which provides compassionate end-of-life care and emotional support for families in our community. 

Thank you to our Lights of Love 2025 donors
