Huron Shores Hospice is receiving a $10,000 sponsorship for its End-of-Year Campaign.
The hospice in Tiverton says the funds came from The Society of United Professionals and it will match the first $10,000 raised, doubling each donations impact.
Co-Chair of Huron Shores Hospice Cheryl Cottrill says their goal was to raise $50,000 between Giving Tuesday on Nov. 30 to the end of the year. A total of just under $60,000 was raised, however, with cheques continuing to be received in the new year.
“Donations to our End-of-Year Campaign will sustain us through to our Hike for Hospice event on May 7 and help get our in-person community programs up and running as the world opens up,” says Co-Chair of Huron Shores Hospice Carol Rencheck.
Vice President of The Society of United Professionals Mike Gade says, “The Society of United Professionals is pleased to support this vital service for our community. People being able to receive free quality end-of-life care, close to home, supported by their loved ones provides peace and dignity to the dying. We are proud to support our community hospice as a demonstration of our vision that unions build stronger communities.”
