Ecumen Lights of Honor Community Celebrations: Honor, Remember, Celebrate

Honor lights are being lit across Minnesota as Ecumen communities host their annual "Lights of Honor" celebrations.

Lights of Honor is a fundraiser held at each Ecumen community that allows individuals to…

Honor and recognize someone whose life impacts yours.
Remember a loved one who has passed away.
Celebrate outstanding care provided by a staff member.

Ecumen communities sell lanterns and have a special Lights of Honor event where community members, donors, residents and others come to celebrate. Last year, Ecumen communities raised over $30,000 for various site projects.

The funds go directly to the Ecumen communities where they are raised, and they are used for special projects or other needs. Over the years, Lights of Honor funds have been used in a wide range of ways including funding resident activities and interactive games, Meals on Wheels, handicap accessible doors, remodeling projects, fitness equipment, furniture, TVs, iPads, iPods, computers and memory care programming.

To purchase a lantern visit www.ecumengiving.org or call your local community.
