Dear Ms. Shore:
Thank you for supporting our 8th Annual “Stepping Out For Hospice” Memorial Walk. It was an amazing day - and the rain held off! Your recent donation of a gift certificate, valued at $25.00, and show of support was an important addition to our donations. I will list your business as a supporter in our Spring Newsletter.
On April 23, 2006, over 1000 people joined us at Stonehill College as we trekked through the scenic campus. This annual event is a meaningful way for our communities to join with family members and OCH staff, along with corporate and community walk teams, in raising awareness for hospice programs and services.
We are happy to report that the following goals were met:
- To raise $125,00 in support of our programs and services at Old Colony Hospice,
- To spread awareness to the public of the benefits of choosing hospice care for patients, and
- To have an enjoyable day in our community - Music, food, kids corner, raffles & awards.
This year, Old Colony Hospice will provide highly skilled, compassionate care to 80-95 patients, along with their loved ones, each day. We care for patients with compassion and dignity in private homes, as well as skilled nursing facilities. Your donation helps us bridge the gap between what we are paid by insurers and the true cost of providing care and medication during this most difficult phase of life.
Sincere thank for your involvement,
Marilyn A. Jackson
Director of Development
