CRHF Christmas Tree Festival Postponed for 2021

September 17, 2021

In response to the uncertainty and commitment to the health and safety of our community, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 CRHF Christmas Tree Festival.
 
Although the annual Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation Christmas Tree Festival will not occur this year, this is not permanent. We fully intend to be back next year, brighter than ever.  We are extremely grateful for the past support of our many sponsors and teams of gifted tree decorators and we are excited to work with you again in 2022.
 
While we’re still facing uncertainty because of COVID-19, the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation will charge on to ensure the safety and health of our community. Your donations and continuous support are what make that possible. We understand that this pandemic has affected us all. Your generosity during this time ensures that the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation can support our healthcare services’ most significant needs.
