We invite you to remember someone special during Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care’s Trees of Life. During the winter holiday season, the trees surrounding the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum will be lit up for the Trees of Life celebration in memory of thousands of loved ones. This 36-year-old community tradition also pays tribute to our military and first responders by illuminating a special red, white and blue tree in their honor. There are many ways to participate:
- Symbolic Light $25
- Symbolic Light and Ornament $50
- Personalized Ornament $125 (includes Symbolic Light)
- Name a Starburst $500 (includes Symbolic Light and Personalized Ornament)
- Special Recognition $1,000 (loved one honored at a future PPHF Tribute Reception, Symbolic Light, and Personalized Ornament)
- In collaboration with the Downtown Partnership of Colorado Springs, PPHPC is offering sponsorships for 29 six-foot pre-lit artificial trees on Tejon Street. All dollars raised help provide hospice and palliative care to those in our community.
Your tax-deductible gift to Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care’s Trees of Life helps provide compassionate, comprehensive, and specialized end-of-life care to patients and their loved ones. Choose your gift and make your donation online.

What Our Families Say
The entire hospice team exceeded our expectations always going above and beyond. They are the most amazing group of people. I can't even put into words how much we appreciate them. They were always very caring, patient and sincere. We could not have managed the process without them. We will never forget you and are forever grateful. Thank you. ~ Patient’s daughter
Everyone who came to attend to my wife were all fantastic caregivers and I cannot praise your hospice staff enough. I was so thankful you were there. ~ Patient’s husband
I could not have asked for a more caring set of people to help us through this difficult time. ~ Patient’s family
