Tree of Love and Celebration Tree
The Aspirus Ironwood Auxiliary proudly lights a pair of trees each holiday season with lights that can be purchased for those honored in memory of those we love (Tree of Love) or to celebrate the happy and special life events such as births, weddings, graduations, anniversaries or whatever you have to celebrate (Celebration Tree). The trees are lit in early December and light are $5/each. Lights for either tree can be purchased year round and forms for purchasing light can be picked up at the Aspirus Ironwood Auxiliary Gift Shop.
The Tree of Love program illuminates the generous compassion within our community and is a significant source of financial support for the Aspirus Ironwood Auxiliary. Help us light our tree by making a donation to remember, honor, or thank someone special.
