For 26 years, the Blessing Tree has been a beacon of hope, love, and remembrance–a symbol of our community coming together to honor and remember those who hold a special place in our hearts. Once again it will shine brightly at Be the Light Park in Downtown Bettendorf (1108 State Street)
Standing 32 feet tall, the Blessing Tree can be seen from near and far–a reminder that our connections to one another light the way through the holidays and beyond. This special place welcomes visitors anytime to honor, remember and celebrate.
You can be part of this heartfelt tradition by sponsoring a light, bow, or ornament in memory of, in celebration of, or in gratitude for someone meaningful to you. Each name will appear on our Blessing Tree webpage and a holiday blessing tribute card will be sent to the individual or family to let them know they or their loved one has been honored. Your support helps sustain the free programs and services offered by Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club.
