The Duke Cancer Patient Support Program will host the 34th Annual Tree of Hope Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the Duke Cancer Center in Durham. This free event is dedicated to honoring and remembering loved ones, patients, family, friends, and health care team members whose lives have been impacted by cancer. 

The program will begin in the lobby with a shared message of hope from the McFadden family and from the staff who provided compassionate care throughout their cancer experience. 

The event will then continue with a candlelight procession into the Garden of Tranquility, located in front of the cancer center, for the Tree of Hope lighting ceremony.

A recording of this year’s event will be posted online after Thursday, Dec. 11.
