The annual Light up a Life event is a candlelit ceremony honoring those who have passed on. Whether they passed recently or years ago, we use this special time to honor their memory. This ceremony serves as the primary fundraiser for the Hospice Memorial Fund, which was created 30 years ago to offer end-of-life care to terminally ill patients with no or limited ability to pay.

Loved ones can donate in honor of friends or family members who have passed on and community partners give to ensure that a worthy cause may continue to benefit our community and the surrounding service area. We have been able to assist countless recipients over the years by providing medical equipment, nursing visits, therapy, and bereavement services.

Your contributions are a great service to those with a financial need during the most difficult of times. Consider giving, together we can help a growing need that exists within our community. Join us for Light up a Life at the Altus Community Center west side at 7pm on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
