DERBY- Griffin Hospital’s annual Holiday Wonderland of Trees fundraiser collected nearly $9,000 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. 

The fundraiser aims to help improve health in the community by supporting the Spooner House’s services.

This is the eighth year of the fundraiser, which has raised more than $56,000 in total.
