The MercyOne Genesis Hospice Remembrance Tree lighting has been canceled due to the heavy rain forecast during tonight’s ceremony.
The ceremony has been a tradition for over two decades to usher in the holiday season and celebrate the memories of loved ones who have passed. The tree-lighting also illuminates the region's continuing need for access to quality hospice.
Even though there won’t be a ceremony, the tree will be turned on at 5 p.m.
Anyone who wants to pick up the ornament they purchased may still do so from 5 - 6:30 p.m. at the Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House, 2546 Tech Drive, Bettendorf. They can also pick it up during business hours this week.
