Special Events

HPCNC hosts various fundraising events during the year that are open to anyone in the community who has lost a loved one. Since we serve all people regardless of ability to pay, we rely on generous donations by individuals and businesses in our community.

Local support of our fundraising efforts ensures our mission of supporting all communities in the Weld and Larimer counties. HPCNC is not a revenue-generating organization, so the community’s generosity is vital to providing all patients and families the necessary services they need to live their final days comfortably.

2009 Tree of Memories

For the 26th year, Hospice and Palliative Care of Northern Colorado will present the Tree of Memories, a moving ceremony to honor our loved ones who have touched our lives. During the event, a remembrance tree is illuminated in memory of those loved ones we have lost. Participants are invited to purchase a symbolic “light” for $12 as well as place a special message to lost loved ones on our remembrance tree. Commemorative ornaments are available for a tax deductible donation of $15. Please click on the Tree of Memories button on the left to purchase your light and/or your ornament. All proceeds benefit HPCNC patient services.

Ceremonies will be held in Windsor on December 2nd, 2009 beginning at 6 pm at the Windsor Community Center located at 250 N. 11th Street and in Greeley on December 3rd, 2009 program beginning at 6 pm at the Aims Event Center located at 5590 W. 11th Street. Our memory tree outside of our hospice office located at 2726 W. 11th Street Road, Greeley will remain lit for the holiday season.
