Lodge at Yosemite’s annual holiday
tree lighting ceremony promises to be extra special this year thanks
to guest of honor, six-year-old Jamie Parmer of Coarsegold, and a toy drive
for Valley Children’s Hospital
in his family’s honor. Jamie, who just finished a three-year course of
treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Valley Children’s, will help
the resort light its 35-foot holiday tree on Sat., Nov. 26 at 6:45 p.m.
Tree lighting festivities begin at 6 p.m.
Following
the ceremony, Jamie’s family, including parents John and Becky, older brother
Andrew and sister, Jasmine, will enjoy a holiday sleepover hosted by the
lodge. Tenaya Lodge wanted to help make the holidays extra special for
the Parmers, who also suffered the loss of an older son, Peyton, earlier
this year.

Guests
and locals are invited to the grand tree-lighting ceremony, which starts
at 6 p.m. and includes holiday hot beverages and a visit with Santa. In
the spirit of giving, Tenaya Lodge encourages all guests attending to bring
a new, unwrapped toy for the kids at Valley Children’s Hospital. Items
requested include new, unopened toys for infants through teens, gift cards
for popular retailers such as Target and Old Navy, board games, craft sets
and new clothing items including pajamas, undergarments and T-shirts.
“We
wanted to do something positive for local families facing hardships and
are so pleased to be supporting Valley Children’s,” said Paul Ratchford,
Tenaya Lodge’s general manager. “The Parmer family has had an extremely
difficult year. We are honored to have them join us for this year’s tree
lighting and our entire team looks forward to helping create happy holiday
memories for Jamie and his family.”
The
holiday tree lighting marks the official kick-off of Tenaya’s holiday season
and its exciting line-up of fun activities and events for the entire family.
The traditional Douglas fir is sustainably topped from an existing tree
each year to allow it to continue growing.
