Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. at the Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center for the 33rd Annual Holiday Tree Lighting event to benefit programs that support the children of Monroe County.

The Lehigh Valley Health Network-Pocono Foundation and the Rotary Club of the Smithfields partner each year for a night of music, refreshments and joy at their Holiday Tree Lighting event. Over the past 30 years, this partnership has raised over $187,000 to fund grants to local non-profit programs that serve the children in our community.  Some of the items these programs provide are winter boots, coats, food, books and educational supplies as well as emotional support and leadership skills.

Last year, your generosity funded grants for: 

  • Animal Welfare Society of Monroe (AWSOM)
  • Boy Scouts of America – Minsi Trails Council 
  • Equi-Librium Inc. 
  • Family Promise of Monroe County
  • Feeding Families Ministry 
  • Garden of Giving 
  • Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and WV 
  • Melon’s Gift 
  • Nurse-Family Partnership at LVH–Pocono
  • Pocono Area Transitional Housing (PATH)
  • Pocono Family YMCA
  • Pocono Services for Family and Children 
  • Safe Monroe
  • Salvation Army – East Stroudsburg Corps
