Support us by Hosting a Community Event
Community events are about far more than raising funds. They bring people together, strengthen connections, create memorable experiences and help ensure compassionate Hospice care, clinical counselling and grief support remain available to individuals and families in our community at no cost.
Whether you're a local business, workplace, club, community organization, family or group of friends — or simply have an idea that could bring people together — we'd love to hear from you. Your event can be as simple or creative, big or small, as you'd like.
Have an Idea? Let's Talk!
You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’d be happy to talk through your idea and help you get started.
