Guests were invited to purchase a gold star in memory or in honor of a loved one and came together during the event to place the personalized stars on the “Tree of Life.” The evening’s festivities featured holiday entertainment provided by Hiroshi Yamazaki, pianist representing the Music Conservatory of Westchester, as well as members of The Manhattan College Singers, directed by Andrew Bauer.

“Being together with friends and loved ones is an important part of the holiday season, and we were thrilled to be able to host our ‘Tree of Life’ reception in person for the first time in three years,” said Mary K. Spengler, MS, RN, LNHA, chief executive officer of HOW. “The event has always served as a bright light during the holidays, which can be a difficult time of year for those who have lost a loved one or who have a family member that has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. It meant so much to all of us at HOW to come together in person once again.”
