Pretty in Pink has done it again.
The Dover area women’s group recently presented the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation with a $30,000 donation. To date, the group has gifted the hospice with more than $173,000 since it began fundraising in 2014.
This year’s donation will be used to purchase an additional cuddle bed for the facility.
Hospice executive director Jodi Maroney expressed her gratitude to the group.
“I am so grateful to all the members of Pretty in Pink for their remarkable dedication and generosity in supporting our hospice families from the start,” Maroney said. “They are not only amazing at hosting events, but they have a lot of fun doing it! I am also very thankful for everyone who supports their events. Together, their impact is tremendous!”
Pretty in Pink events include a chili cook off, dinner and dance, and golf tournament.
The Chatham-Kent Hospice is a 10-bed residential facility that offers care for residents facing end of life, as well as support for their loved ones. Since it opened in 2016, the hospice has provided support for nearly 1,300 families.
