Hearts for Hospice Care

Hospice Care Corporation runs regular fund raising events in order to raise money for its non-profit hospice care services. The latest, "Hearts for Hospice Care," was covered by the Dominion Post, which was kind enough to print this story:

Hospice Care Corporation has launched its 2nd annual "Hearts for Hospice Care" fundraiser to increase awareness and raise money for patients who need hospice services. The campaign will run during the month of February with the support and participation of local businesses and customers.

The goal for this year's campaign is $10,000, which benefits patient care for Hospice Care Corporation, a 501c3 nonprofit corporation. All proceeds will pay for patients and families who do not have the insurance or the ability to pay for hospice care services. Every dollar raised stays within the 12 counties Hospice Care serves in West Virginia.

The campaign is similar to those run by many national organizations fighting arias diseases, the one important distinction: "All of the money that is raised will stay right here in our communities to help our friends, neighbors, and loved ones," said Cynthia Woodyard, Vice President of Public Affairs and Access for Hospice Care Corporation. "One dollar dilated by many can make a big difference in our loved ones and neighbors lives, " Woodyard added.

Local business , organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate. You can support Hospice Care's mission through a corporate sponsorship, or allow your customers to donate $1 or more and proudly honor their loved one on a heart displayed in your business. All contributions are tax deductible. Hospice Care provides the materials; you just have to make the call.
