Friends of Hospice |
|
The Friends of Hospice is the fundraising auxiliary of Hospice of the Calumet Area. In 1982, an innovative group of area women formed Friends of Hospice (FOH) with a desire to financially assist the pioneer concept of hospice care. As members increased to a current roster of over 200, our donations have grown accordingly. In both 2005 and 2006, FOH contributed approximately $100,000 to Hospice of the Calumet Area! In addition to two signature events, the Seeds of Hope gala dinner with silent auction and Mum’s the Word luncheon, creative members (and other interested volunteers) have joined forces to form the Hospice Artisans. Their creations include “must-have” handbags and scarves, one-of-a-kind greeting cards and other gift items that are sold at regional events throughout the year. Since our inception, the Friends of Hospice has surpassed $600,000 in donations raised to help fulfill Hospice of the Calumet Area’s mission of providing comfort care for individuals, regardless of their ability to pay.
