The Valley Hospital Auxiliary’s
2025 Tree of Light Illumination Ceremony and Tribute Book
We are filled with gratitude as we reflect on the Tree of Light ceremony held on December 5. It was a joyous occasion and a truly special gathering for our community at The Valley Hospital. The Auxiliary extends heartfelt thanks to our speakers—Bettyann Kempin, Vice President, Administration, The Valley Hospital; Donna Mainardi Singer, President, The Valley Hospital Auxiliary; and Dave Bohan, VP and Chief Philanthropy Officer, TVH Foundation—whose inspiring words uplifted all in attendance. We were also delighted by the Paramus High School Choir and Orchestra, who filled the air with beautiful holiday music and enhanced the spirit of the event.
The collective effort of everyone who purchased stars or lights in honor or memory of a loved one has made a significant impact. Your contributions support the Auxiliary’s pledge to raise $1.6 million to support and enhance patient care and comfort in the treatment of cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and the Butterflies program for critically ill children. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $20,000 to improve the health and well-being of children in our community.
A special round of applause goes to Mary Seminara and her dedicated Tree of Light committee for their hard work in making this event possible and ensuring that all donors were acknowledged. We are also grateful to the Auxiliary members, Valley volunteers, and various Valley departments for their generous contributions of goodies and services. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
