DERBY - Griffin Hospital’s 2022 Annual Holiday Wonderland of Trees fundraiser collected more than $9,600 for Spooner House in Shelton to help feed and shelter area families in need this winter.

As part of Griffin’s Planetree Person-Centered Care Philosophy, the Holiday Wonderland of Trees calls on hospital departments to decorate three-foot artificial evergreen trees that are raffled off every December. 

The fundraiser aims to help improve health and well-being of the Griffin community by supporting the Spooner House’s services.

This is the 12th year of the fundraiser, which has raised more than $85,000 in total.
