Join us for this year’s Tree of Hope dedication ceremony, held once again outside at the Southern Bucks Recovery Community Center (SBRCC) Courtyard, 1286 Veterans Highway, Ste. D6, Bristol. The rescheduled date will be on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. The event opens at 6:00 pm, and our program will begin at 7:00 pm. (Please dress for the weather!) We would be honored to have you join us for the ceremony where we celebrate those in recovery, remember those lost to the disease of addiction, and affirm those who serve as Rays of Hope to help others.
For three decades, the community has been invited to decorate the Tree of Hope with personalized ornaments:
- To commemorate those who have lost their lives due to this disease
- To celebrate a life regained through recovery
- To offer hope to those seeking help or recognize those who help make recovery possible
At the Tree of Hope, we invite members of the community to decorate a magnificent tree with personalized ornaments that bear the names or initials of those who have been impacted by substance use disorder. We’ll also have Trees at our Centers throughout our service area.
At Tree of Hope, we will have the annual presentation of the Tom Nelson Award, which recognized an individual whose volunteer service demonstrates remarkable progress towards The Council’s mission of care; we will recognize a “Ray of Hope” as well as this year’s Ambassador of Recovery.
You can make your gift and dedicate your ornament here.
We hope you can join us on December 10th for the 2025 Tree of Hope. Our event will open at 6:00 pm for those who want to make a gift and dedicate an ornament onsite, we’ll have Carols and coffee, and our Program for the evening will begin at 7:00 pm.
