Success!

By all accounts, the 16th annual Derby Eve Benefit, known this year as Bourbon, Boots & BBQ, was a resounding success.

More than 300 guests packed Richardson Hall at the Madison County Fairgrounds to celebrate Kentucky’s Derby traditions, enjoy country music sensation Walker Montgomery, and raise funds for Hospice Care Plus.

Fundraising totals will be shared when they’re final. In the meantime, Hospice wants to thank all the guests who came and made it a record-breaking year for attendance, the sponsors and donors who made it financially viable by contributing, and the volunteers who worked so hard to make it a fun, successful night for everyone. We’re grateful to all of you for your support of hospice, palliative, and bereavement care in our community!

If we’ve inadvertently excluded anyone, we apologize and ask that you notify us via email to hospice@hospicecp.org. We’ll want to make a correction immediately. Thank you.

Joy Makes Home Visit

Our stories about meaningful experiences are written as they unfold. Therefore, most stories are in the present tense. Some of the patients in these stories are no longer with us. They, and their families, gave us permission to share their experience with you. For those who have since passed, we share these in their memories…
