DAVENPORT, Iowa -- Oct. 15, 2012 -- Genesis will help open the holiday season with a festive Celebration of Life on Saturday, Nov. 10.

The traditional Remembrance Tree will be illuminated to start the season at 6 p.m. in Bechtel Park at River Drive and Iowa Street, Davenport. Donations will be accepted for tree light sponsors with proceeds supporting Genesis Hospice Care.

Special entertainment will be provided by a brass quintet, dancers, and, the Holiday Pops Children's Choir. The choir will feature music from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Polar Express."

There will be cocoa, cider and other refreshments.

Individual "light" sponsors are invited to make a donation of $10 to honor the memory of loved ones. Names received by the Genesis Foundation by November 5 will be included on a "Scroll of Names,'' which will be given to ceremony attendees.
