💛 Tonight, the Village of Mineola lit its Gold Tree in honor of children and families affected by pediatric cancer.
Held in partnership with The Mary Ruchalski Foundation during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, this meaningful ceremony remembers children whose lives were lost to cancer and honors those who continue to face the disease.
As the tree glows gold throughout September, we encourage our community to pause, remember, and keep these children and families in their thoughts. 💛
