Rotary Tree Of Remembrance To Honor, Remember At Mall
December 14, 2014
The Rotary Tree of Remembrance is now on display inside the Dillard’s entrance to Cordova Mall. Shoppers have the opportunity to make a donation and place yellow ribbons on the Christmas tree in honor or remembrance of a loved one.
“The ribbons offer a simple but dignified and poignant way to remember their families and friends amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season,” says Bambi Provost, director of the Sacred Heart Foundation. The Children’s Hospital at Sacred Heart is one of six beneficiaries of this fundraising effort, along with Gulf Coast Kids’ House, Covenant Hospice, Simon Youth Foundation, ARC Gateway and Rotary’s Camp Florida.
To conclude this year’s Second Annual Rotary Tree of Remembrance project, a non-denominational service will be held on Sunday, December 28, at 3 p.m. at the tree. Following the service, checks will be presented to the charities.

Covenant Hospice is so grateful to be included with an amazing group of charities who benefit from this wonderful Remembrance. Thank you to all who stop by, speak with volunteers, remember a loved one and make a donation!
This is truly a great charity and remembrance event. All money received goes to the charities. Stop buy and chat with the volunteers if you have any questions. Don’t forget to make a donation and place a ribbon as well.
