Bill Rhodes, chair of the Kent & Essex Mutual board of directors, pulls the winning Golden Ticket at the seventh annual Chatham-Kent Hospice benefit gala.

The giving continues this fall in Chatham-Kent. Most recently, the Chatham-Kent Hospice benefit gala enjoyed a full house of patrons and saw more than $133,000 raised to support end-of-life hospice care in Chatham-Kent.

The sold-out event provided guests with an elegant evening of fine dining, the opportunity to bid on auction experiences and hear from a local family about its experience at Chatham-Kent Hospice.

“Our sincere thanks to all guests who attended and our kind sponsors for their support, especially our Title Sponsor, Victory Lincoln,” said Ginny Hawken, special events chair for the hospice, in a media release. “Because of your generosity and kindness, local families will continue to have access to residential hospice care as well as grief and bereavement support at no cost to them.

Adding to the excitement of the evening was the Golden Ticket raffle where one hundred guests had the chance to snag an experience from the silent auction and two tickets to next year’s gala. The lucky winner was Anne English who selected the Toronto Maple Leaf package donated by Enbridge Gas.

A returning feature, the Mittons Jewellers Diamond Draw, featuring a beautiful diamond bracelet, was won by Dawn Campbell.
