CANANDAIGUA – The Thompson Health Guild is inviting community members to honor and
celebrate those they love through the annual Tree of Lights this holiday season.
With a minimum donation of $10, individuals can sponsor a light in honor or in memory of
someone special. Those who are honored receive a notification, letting them know of the
gesture. For lights designated in memory of someone, a family member or friend may be
designated to receive the email notification. Proceeds benefit the Thompson Health Associate
Education Fund.
This year’s tree lighting ceremony is dedicated to Bonnie Dennis who served as manager of the
Guild Gallery Gift Shop for almost 12 years. The ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday,
Dec. 7, just outside the Thompson Professional Building at 395 West St. in Canandaigua. The
event will include refreshments in the hospital cafeteria, a visit from Santa, and caroling.

raises money to benefit the nonprofit organization of UR Medicine Thompson Health, visit
