The Mahaska Health Foundation is holding its first ever Light the Night event Monday night (11/30).  The lights for the 20 foot tree were purchased as a way to raise money for the hospital’s Cancer Care and Infusion Center.  Sharon Croskrey, a scheduler at Mahaska Health, talks about the tree lighting.

“We’ll have an honorary person that’s going to light the tree for us this year.  It’s a 20 foot tree with a large topper and all the lights.  It would just be a nice way for folks to drive by and see the lovely tree lit on the corner out by the hospital.”

Mahaska Health wants to make this an annual event.  The tree lighting will be at 5:30 Monday evening.
