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 are placed throughout Palmetto Health Tuomey and literally transform the hospital into a winter wonderland. Thousands of people come to see these beautifully decorated trees that are on display the entire month of December.
More important even than the beauty of the Festival of Trees, though, is its beneficiary - Tuomey Hospice Services. Funds raised through these sponsorships go toward this incredible program. Hospice allows patients to spend their final days with dignity, surrounded by their loved ones. Our goal is to provide a hospice unit that will be a place of shelter and rest for terminal patients and their families. This unit will allow a patient to receive the comfort and care needed during a specific time and enable family members to have a respite from their daily care routine. |

Circle of Lights
In conjunction with our Festival of Trees, the Circle of Lights also benefits our Hospice Services at Palmetto Health Tuomey. 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.
