Hospice Cup Regatta
Anuual Sailing Regatta Raises Awareness and Funds for Hospice
Community Hospices salutes hospice professionals and volunteers worldwide and is proud to join with other members of the hospice community and those who provide important support through fundraising events like Hospice Cup XXIII.
Last year nearly half a million dollars was raised by Hospice Cup sponsors. Supporting Hospice Cup means that there will continue to be no out-of-pocket expenses for any patient or family seeking hospice services. This event is a unique way to raise public awareness of your company or business while supporting Community Hospices through corporate or individual sponsorship.
Community Hospices is a relative newcomer to the area’s hospice family, but we are anything but new to the world of hospice care. We began one of the nation’s first hospices in 1978 as Hospice of Washington, and in late 2001, expanded our hospice services when we acquired ongoing hospice operations.
At the heart of Community Hospices’ vision for the future is the need to educate people about the value of hospice, to lead improvements in hospice care, and to raise funds that can provide hospice to those without the means to pay.
Watch for additional information about the 24th annual Hospice Cup to be held in Annapolis, in September, 2005.
