JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JRMC) – The Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation is hosting the 24th annual Tree of Love Fundraiser and Dedication on Tuesday, Dec. 14.

“Because of visitor limitations at JRMC, we will host a Facebook Live event at 11:30 a.m. with prayer and dedication,” said Lisa Jackson, Foundation Director. “Ornaments can be picked up from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. by driving-thru the main entrance.”

“The Tree of Love is one of my favorite holiday traditions. The names upon the tree are cherished. We are grateful for your support and the shared commitment to providing legendary care close to home,” Jackson said. 

“We’ve realized to a greater level than being close to our loved ones and having caregivers we know and trust are more important than ever. Your generosity provides resources and resiliency to achieve that.”

Ornaments are available for a year-end donation in any amount. Supporters can give online or by mail and can dedicate ornament tags to a caregiver who made a difference, a beloved spouse or family member, co-worker, caregiver or friend. 

Proceeds benefit the greatest needs at JRMC. 

“JRMC Cancer Center has doubled the number of infusions a month to more than 200. To respond to our patient’s emotional and spiritual needs and their families, we have expanded chaplaincy and bereavement care. Hospice guides more than 100 families through loss. New equipment provides less invasive cancer screenings and prevention, emergency x-ray stretcher and more. All funded through your gifts,” said Jackson. 

“In addition to the gifted ornaments, JRMC Foundation also recognizes those who have passed away during the year who are either co-workers or provided a legacy gift through estate giving or their memorials,” Jackson said.
