Community Invited to Love Light Shine Bright in Support of Pediatric Patients at Lutheran Children’s Hospital and Dupont Hospital
12/2/2024
Hospitalized children can feel “stuck” inside a hospital room during this time of year that is most often filled with good cheer. Mission: Motherhood and Hope’s Harbor are partnering with Lutheran Hospital and Dupont Hospital for our annual Love Light Shine Bright event to lift the spirits of hospitalized patients around the holiday season. Taking place at two locations this year—Lutheran Hospital and Dupont Hospital—the event offers a heartfelt opportunity to show solidarity and bring hope to families facing medical challenges.
When: Thursday, December 12, 2024, 6:30 p.m. – 7:15 p.m.
Where:
- Lutheran Hospital: Meet outside the Heart Pavilion. (The media is asked to join at this location.)
- Dupont Hospital: Meet inside the front lobby, 2520 E. Dupont Road, Fort Wayne
“Just taking a moment of time means a great deal to these young patients and their families this holiday season. We’re so excited to include Dupont Hospital this year to expand such a meaningful event,” said Lorie Ailor, CEO of Lutheran Hospital.
The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m., with Hope’s Harbor providing hospitality, treats, and music to bring warmth and joy to all attendees. Community members will gather at each hospital location for an evening filled with camaraderie and holiday spirit, including a visit from Santa Claus at Lutheran Hospital. At 7 p.m., attendees will shine their own flashlights together as a symbolic gesture of unity and hope for families with hospitalized children. A choir will lead the group in various carols. Free parking is available around the entrance to Lutheran Heart Pavilion and Dupont Hospital.
