Christmas in July!

It is hard to believe that we are thinking about Christmas trees and wreaths when it's 90 some odd degrees outside! Yes, the 21st Festival of Trees planning is upon us. This year's event will be held at Palmetto Health Children's Hospital. I'm excited about holding the event at the hospital again this year. I have set the picture of the Warren Atrium decorated for the event as the desktop on my computer! Earlier in the week, we met with WIS News 10 about its participation. Scott and Jennifer are kicking around the idea of the 2010 Winter Olympics for the theme of their tree. The 21st Winter Olympics at the 21st Festival of Trees--perfect! Hearing the excitement of item donors as they decide their themes and imagining what it will all look like makes the heat more tolerable. I'll keep you all updated as I hear what designers are creating for this year!

Proceeds from Palmetto Health Foundation's Walk for Life will help enhance digital mammography equipment at the Palmetto Health Breast Center. Did you know that the likelihood of detecting breast cancer in dense breasts using digital equipment is 70% compared to 55% using analog equipment?
