C. Edward McCracken Festival of Lights

Presented by Newton Medical Center Foundation, the C. Edward McCracken Festival of Lights is a festive, heartwarming event where the Newton Medical Center community gathers to usher in the holiday season. 

C. Edward McCracken Festival of Lights Brings Joy to our Campus!

It was a great night for the Newton Medical Center Foundation's 34th annual C. Edward McCracken Festival of Lights!

Once again, members of the community visited Newton Medical Center’s beautifully decorated campus to kick off the holiday season at this much-loved annual event. Santa and his snowman friend were on hand as guests and three generations of the McCracken family enjoyed refreshments and the glorious lighting of the trees across the campus.

Thanks to many generous sponsors and attendees, over $130,000 was raised for the benefit of Atlantic Health Newton Medical Center!
The Auxiliary of Newton Medical Center was celebrated as the event’s Community Honoree. Through revenue from various fundraising events through the years, the Newton Medical Center Auxiliary has contributed over $7 million to support various Foundation funded projects at Newton Medical Center.

“We sincerely thank all Newton Medical Center Auxiliary members - past and present - for making such a positive difference to Newton Medical Center and health care in this community,” said Megan Sandow, chief philanthropy officer at Atlantic Health Newton Medical Center. “Honoring this dedicated group of volunteers made this beloved annual community event even more special.”
