Mount Auburn Hospital’s Auxiliary hosted the 10th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Hospital’s Stanton Lobby on Thursday, December 12th! Funds from this year’s event are still being counted but over the past nine years, the Tree Lighting Ceremony has raised over $100,000 for the Hospital, due to the generosity of hundreds of contributors to this annual event. The evening featured performances by the Belmont High School Madrigal Singers and the Waltham High School Guitar Ensemble, and an audience Sing-Along concluded the ceremony, followed by a reception. Newtonville resident, Charles Hatem, MD Chair, of the Department of Medical Education at Mount Auburn Hospital, attended the event with his family. The Hatems did the honors of lighting the Christmas Tree at Mount Auburn Hospital, which is 32 feet high and has 28,000 lights.
