Celebration of Lights 2023 (Bismarck)

Mental Health America of North Dakota and the ND Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health, invite you to participate in the 39th Annual Celebration of Lights Tree of Hope tree lighting ceremony at McCabe United Methodist Church, Thursday, November 30th starting at 5:00pm. The event will start at McCabe United Methodist Church at 1030 North 6th Street, Bismarck. State Senators Dick Dever and Sean Cleary will host the event. The Central Dakota Children’s Choir will be performing a couple of selections to help us celebrate. Refreshments will be served.

Following the Choir and addresses from State Senators Dever and Cleary, we will light the Tree of Hope near the Governor’s Residence (at the corner of North 4th Street and East Boulevard Avenue).

The Tree of Hope serves as a beacon to remind us that the stigma toward mental health still exists and so many remain in darkness because of this. To help erase the stigma and support the need for continued advocacy we are lighting this tree for those who struggle, especially during the holiday season.

Your participation supports our work to promote mental health and wellness for children and adults. To support healthier lives and stronger communities, we welcome you to purchase a light or multiple lights on the Tree of Hope. You can also purchase lights as a memorial for someone to honor their memory.

Each person you honor will receive a personal card recognizing your gift and is a wonderful gesture to start off the holiday season in the spirit of sharing and caring.
Be a part of a brighter and healthier tomorrow, by joining us for the “Celebration of Lights” on November 30th . Parking is available at McCabe United Methodist Church, and additional parking is available on the Capitol grounds.
