Tribute Tree Ceremony 2024

The Tribute Tree at Clear Path for Veterans is more than just a tradition—it is a symbol of love, remembrance, and honor. This special tree gives us the opportunity to celebrate and remember the brave men and women who are currently serving, have served, or have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Standing tall beside our basketball courts, the 18-foot Colorado blue spruce shines brightly, each light telling a story. A white bulb glows in honor or memory of a loved one who has served. A red bulb burns in tribute to those killed in action.

These lights serve as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by our heroes, a visible expression of our deep gratitude. We hope that as the tree remains illuminated throughout the holiday season, it will bring comfort to those who have lost someone dear, and provide a sense of community to all who gather around it.

We invite you to be a part of this beautiful tradition by dedicating a bulb on our Tribute Tree. Donations are being accepted until December 3, 2024, and the tree will remain aglow until early January as a symbol of our shared commitment to never forget those who have served.

During our annual tree-lighting ceremony on  December 3, 2024, at 5:30 p.m., we will read aloud the names of all the service members honored and remembered in 2024. This is a time to come together as a community, to share in the light of remembrance and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those we love. We will have light refreshments inside before and during the ceremony.

To dedicate a bulb in honor, please click the 'Book Now' button below to make a $25 donation per bulb. Please rsvp to the tree lighting ceremony if planning to attend.

Together, we keep their memory alive.
