Piedmont Columbus Regional Auxiliary to host annual NICU celebration, holiday tree lighting event
Columbus, Ga. (November 12, 2025) – Kickoff the holiday season with Piedmont Columbus Regional’s annual NICU Celebration on Friday, December 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Midtown Campus Conference Center. This event is hosted by the Piedmont Columbus Regional Auxiliary just for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) graduates.
“Participants can enjoy meeting Santa, Mrs. Claus and reuniting with NICU staff along with activity stations, Christmas cookies and hot chocolate,” said Director of Volunteer Services Nancy Williams. “A children's choir will perform holiday tunes, plus there will also be an outdoor tree lighting and NICU graduates can receive a commemorative ornament.”
Vintrez and Tessa Davis will be the featured NICU family with the honor of helping the Auxiliary light the tree. They will share their emotional experience with their youngest son, Landon, who was born in January 2025 and was quickly sent to the NICU. Landon received the Bible-based nickname “Baby Lazarus” as his parents and care team got to see him walk out of the grave after dying twice.
Call 706.571.1484 or email Nancy.Williams@piedmont.org for more information, no RSVP required.
Piedmont Columbus Regional Midtown is home to a Level III NICU and offers neonatal transport services.
