Carthage, IL – Tuesday, November 16, 2021 – Memorial Hospital Foundation is excited to announce that Sullivan Auctioneers, LLC, will host an online holiday auction to support Memorial Hospital Foundation. This auction will go live on Monday, November 22^nd and end on Saturday, November 27^th.

This auction will allow for individuals and organizations to bid on Christmas tree and tree topper sponsorships. Bidders will not receive trees to keep, but rather these decorated trees will be displayed throughout the holiday season on the historic Hancock County Courthouse lawn in Carthage, Illinois. Eight Christmas trees and eight uniquely decorated tree toppers, designed by Berry Creek Creations, will be available for sponsorship. The highest bidder of each tree or tree topper will have the opportunity to have their name or business displayed with their tree and will be honored as a supporter of Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 2021 Campaign, You are my Sunshine. This campaign seeks to raise funds to construct a four-season sunroom on Hancock Village’s senior living campus in Carthage, IL.

Greta Wetzel, Executive Director of Memorial Hospital Foundation, states, “The community so enjoyed last year’s Christmas tree display and we are thrilled to keep the tradition alive this year. We are especially excited to engage local businesses and community members by offering the opportunity for tree sponsorships this holiday season. We are also incredibly grateful to Sullivan Auctioneers for hosting this online auction to support our fundraising efforts.”
