For hospice patient Don Ray, this fundraiser is a bucket-list wish. Help make his dream come true by visiting Purdy’s on June 11 at 7pm.
Mr. Don Ray, a Hospice Care Plus patient, has a bucket-list wish. And, amazingly, that bucket-list wish is to do something for someone else.
He has asked if he can do a small fundraiser for Hospice Care Plus, because he wants to give something back to the people caring for him and for others.
So, with Hospice’s help, Mr. Ray is hosting a special fundraiser on Thursday, June 11, at 7 PM at Purdy’s Coffee Shop in Richmond.
The event, titled “One Voice – One Life: A Karaoke Night at Purdy’s,” is free and open to the public. Purdy’s will donate 15% of sales that evening to Hospice Care Plus. Also, for a donation of any size, guests can sing karaoke using Mr. Ray’s cutting-edge system and selection of music.
Mr. Ray and his family will all be there, enjoying the music and, we hope, a few songs from Mr. Ray himself.
For questions for more information, contact Julie at Hospice Care Plus at 859-986-1500 or 800-806-5492.

To Have Coffee with an Old Friend
When we ask our patients what’s most important to them or what’s on their minds, what we are trying to do is learn. We can’t meet a need that we haven’t learned about. Many needs are relatively obvious and easy to meet: a walker for support, a new medication to treat a new symptom, for instance. Other needs take time to reveal themselves, but they are no less important.
To Make a Meaningful Mark
We all have bucket-list wishes. Sometimes the thing you want to do seems simple, like getting a tattoo, but is really about much more–claiming and honoring someone you love, for instance.
To Marry the Love of My Life
This summer, in the middle of a pandemic and while my soon-to-be husband was receiving hospice care, I married the love of my life.
