The Ladies Aid Society of the
Women's Board of Lankenau Medical Center

invites you to attend the 39th Annual
"Tree of Life"
Lighting Ceremony
Wednesday, December 2
4:30 p.m.

The Annenberg Center, Lankenau Medical Center
Conference Rooms A, B, and C. 



This special service helps us usher in the winter holiday season while reflecting on the individuals who have made a meaningful difference in our community. Symbolic of Lankenau’s commitment to service, each light on the Tree of Life represents a gift made in honor, appreciation, or memory of someone special. Gifts may also recognize a significant act of service, a meaningful experience, or a unique occasion. The Tree of Life is an enduring symbol of the values Lankenau represents, and each gift is deeply appreciated. As a token of our gratitude, the name of each donor is recorded in the Tree of Life Book, which is displayed in the Frankel Lobby and during the ceremony.




Our ceremony will be held on December 2, 2026, and this page will remain active through December 31, 2026 to accept post-event donations.


Thank you for supporting this meaningful tradition. Your generosity helps us honor special people in our lives while bringing hope, comfort, and light to our community. 

If you plan to attend, we would be honored to celebrate with you. Please let us know. Your presence will make the celebration even more meaningful.  To RSVP, please click “Plan to Attend” on the left side menu. Indicate the number of adults and children (12 and under).


All donations are 100% tax deductible.


Please Note: Donations made after November 23, 2026, may not appear online prior to the Light Up the Main Line event on December 2, 2026.
