Events

This year’s Holiday Festival will support the SBL Health Foundation Capital Campaign: “Expanding Hope,” an initiative to expand the Regional Cancer Center.

The 21,500 square foot cancer center was built to accommodate 17 oncology infusion chairs, with plenty of waiting room space. But over the years, patient volume has soared. Just since 2020, the number of patient visits has nearly doubled, in part due to an aging population, but there’s also a national trend in younger people being diagnosed with cancer.

On behalf of those impacted by cancer now and in the future in your community, thank you for your support of the 2026 Holiday Festival.

MEMORY STAR ORNAMENT
Celebrate the memory of a loved one or recognize a Sarah Bush Lincoln Hospice caregiver that was particularly kind while supporting an endowment for SBL’s Willow Breeze Hospice House.

Christmas is a wonderful occasion to honor or thank someone. Purchasing a $40 Memory Star ornament or making a tribute gift also helps patients throughout our 20-county service area afford their stay at Willow Breeze. Most insurance companies pay for nursing care, but not room and board. Orders are due by Monday, November 16, 2026.

For more information about the Holiday Festival, a Live Auction Raffle Ticket, or a Memory Star Ornament, call the SBL Health Foundation at 217-258-2511.
