Festival of TreesThe annual Festival of Trees has quickly become a holiday tradition for Sumter County residents. This wonderful event, which is open to the entire community, features Christmas trees that are sponsored and decorated by local businesses and organizations. The trees can be found throughout Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital's campus, in businesses throughout the community, and in the storefronts of beautiful Downtown Sumter. The trees transform the entire community into a winter wonderland, while supporting a worthwhile cause. Thousands of people come to see these beautifully decorated trees that are on display the entire month of December.
The real beauty of the Festival of Trees is in its beneficiary, rather than the actual trees. Each tree represents support for Prisma Health Tuomey's Hospice. Funds raised through tree sponsorships go towards this incredible program. Hospice allows patients to spend their final days in comfort and with dignity, while receiving the care that they need. Our goal is to provide a hospice unit that will provide a peaceful place of shelter and rest for patients and the families of Hospice patients, as a retreat away from the normal routines of everyday life. |
Circle of Lights
In conjunction with our Festival of Trees, the Circle of Lights also benefits our Hospice Services at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital. Through the Circle of Lights you may symbolically purchase a light or a strand of lights on the Christmas tree in front of the hospital in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one.
After the Foundation receives your Circle of Lights contribution along with the names and addresses of each individual you would like to honor or memorialize this holiday season, we will send you a tax deductible receipt for your records and notify your friends and family members of the thoughtful gesture you have made in their honor or in memory of a loved one. One person may be honored or memorialized for each light purchased through the Circle of Lights.
Please contact The Tuomey Foundation at (803) 774-9014 for more information.
If you are an employee of the hospital and would like to make a donation please click here for a donor card that includes payroll deduction. Fill out the donor card and drop off in the cafeteria or send through inner office mail to The Tuomey Foundation.
