Halifax Health - Hospice of Volusia/ Flagler

In 1989, The Tree of Remembrance project was created to help loved ones celebrate those they have lost by creating a Christmas memorial. People can buy an ornament and in exchange they receive a memory tag they can fill out with a special message or memory of their loved one. The tags are then placed on one of four large Christmas trees that are on display in a local mall through the month of December.

Proceeds from ornament sales go to the Hospice Memorial fund, which provides a variety of assistance from providing to those who cannot afford care, to bringing in loved ones from afar to see the patients. So far it has been an emotional and financial success, raising over $800,000 in the past 19 years and helping an estimated 5,000 patients. The program is marketed through a bi-annual newsletter, website, and other local channels. To read the full customer success story, download the PDF.
