2023 Lights of Love Will Shine through the Holidays
For the 22nd consecutive year, the Aspirus Riverview Lights of Love will shine through the holiday season.
Located between Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Riverview Expressway in Wisconsin Rapids, the 2023 Lights of Love trees were lit during an outdoor ceremony on November 28.
Aspirus Riverview Foundation extends its sincere gratitude to our community business supporters: Solarus, WFHR 1320 AM/WIRI 97.5 FM, and Ritchay & Feldner/Ritchay Funeral Homes.
Thank you as well to our Lights of Love volunteers, the Wisconsin Rapids Area Middle School 6th grade students who wrote essays and their teachers, the Wisconsin Rapids Grove Elementary School 3rd-5th grade choir and their directors, Pastor Milt Van Natta, and Amber Holmes and Brian Kief from Aspirus Riverview Hospital.
Congratulations to our 2023 student essay winners, who wrote about "The Greatest Thing to Give." They are Ada Pluess, Vivian Zachar, Mason Scheuneman and Mykah Wettstein.
