A Christmas Moment at Butterworth ·

Help Us Create a Christmas Moment for 75 Adults Facing Cancer

This Christmas, One More Moment is bringing a little extra holiday joy to adults receiving oncology care at Butterworth Hospital.

We’re planning a special Christmas Moment with gifts, comfort items, food, music, handwritten cards, and a few holiday surprises. Event details are still being finalized.

Why We’re Doing This

Spending part of the holidays in the hospital can mean missing the meals, music, and traditions that make Christmas feel like Christmas. We want adults facing cancer to feel remembered, too.

A warm meal, a thoughtful gift, or a handwritten card can offer a welcome break in a hospital day. That’s what we hope to create on December 22.

Sponsor One Christmas Moment for $50

A $50 donation helps provide a Christmas package for one adult facing cancer and contributes to the cost of putting on the event.

  • A Christmas stocking with comfort and practical items

A Little Help From Some Pretty Great Kids
