DAVENPORT, IA - DECEMBER 2015 - Gilda's Club will host the annual lighting of the Blessing Tree on Thursday, December 3rd at 5:30 pm.
This is a special time of year where we gather together and celebrate by having a nice meal and light the Blessing Tree - a 32 ft. tree displayed along River Drive. There will be a special guest in Noogieland on this evening. The main meal provided, but desserts are welcomed! Thanks to Doug's Heating and Air Conditioning for providing the ham.
The Blessing Tree is a special tradition at Gilda's Club in which people can sponsor a light, bow, or ornament in memory of, in celebration of, or in thankfulness for a special person in your life. All the proceeds from The Blessing Tree help Gilda's Club in their mission to support local individuals and families affected by a cancer diagnosis at no charge. The tree will remain lit until January 10th.
Individual lights are just $5 each or you may purchase five lights for $20. Large bows may be purchased for $25 each and gold ornaments for $50 each. A display in the clubhouse will feature the name of the person each light, bow, or ornament represents and a letter of tribute and holiday blessings will be sent if you wish.
