Health Care Foundation’s Annual Snowflake Campaign Kicks Off
November 17, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, TX – It is not too early to think of snowflakes and the holiday season! November is the month that the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation kicks off its annual Snowflake Campaign. The Snowflake mailer was recently mailed and the website is available to accept donations.
The community is invited to pay tribute to friends and family members with a gift in their honor or memory. The Foundation will then send a notification to the honorees or designated contact to make them aware of the gift.
In addition, an intricate snowflake bearing the name of the individual being recognized is displayed in the main lobby of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs. It won’t be long before the foyer will be filled with snowflakes on the windows and twinkling with lights on the Christmas tree.
This end-of-year holiday campaign began as one of the first offerings of the Foundation. Originally, donors sponsored lights on the hospital’s Christmas tree to recognize friends and loved ones. The concept was later altered to be outdoor luminaires displayed in the Gardens at Memorial. A few years ago, the snowflakes became the symbol of the campaign.
The hospital lobby is the perfect place to recognize those we hold dear. The area is filled with an elaborately decorated Christmas tree that stands tall as guests are welcomed to the hospital. Snowflakes add to the scene by alighting on the outside windows as well as the Johnnie Masters Gift Shop. It is a breathtaking scene to behold!
The recommended donation for each person honored is $25 or more. Recognition of individuals makes a lovely seasonal gift. It is a great way to tell someone they are thought of during the holiday season and a wonderful way to pay tribute to a deceased friend or loved one.
Donations may be mailed to the Foundation or made online at the Foundation’s webpage. Please include contact information for the donor as well as the individuals to whom an acknowledgment of the recognition should be sent. Additional information to includes the name(s) of the individual(s) to be added to the snowflakes as well as if the gift is in honor of or memory of the person.

The annual celebration was held in the newly funded Gardens at Memorial and centered around the Christmas tree. This was a wonderful outdoor celebration to start the holiday season for many years from 2008 until 2021.
The CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs lobby is awaiting the installation of its Christmas tree. Soon after, the snowflakes will start to adorn the windows as the holiday season is ushered in. To learn more or participate in the Snowflake Campaign, visit Snowflake2025.GiveSmart.com.
