LANCASTER, Ohio — FAIRHOPE Hospice & Palliative Care raised nearly $100,000 in donations from their annual FAIRHOPE Celebrates Life event, benefiting their Memorial Fund. This beloved downtown gathering honors the legacies of loved ones who were patients of FAIRHOPE. Award winners are recognized for representing the integrity and caring spirit of FAIRHOPE’s mission.

The sold-out event was attended by many local business professionals, community members, as well as family and friends of former FAIRHOPE patients. Proceeds from donations, the online auction, generous event sponsors, and ticket sales collectively support FAIRHOPE’s Memorial Fund to provide services for patients requiring end-of-life care that would otherwise not be able to afford it. FAIRHOPE does not turn away anyone for their inability to pay; rather, they honor each life with love and dignity through comprehensive hospice and palliative care services.

“We are astonished by the outpouring of generosity year after year at this event,” said Kristin Glasure, President and CEO of FAIRHOPE. “It’s a privilege to host such a meaningful evening that people feel connected to, whether by our mission or through a personal experience from our services. It’s touching to see it bring such a positive impact to our community.”

Donations are still being accepted for those who were not in attendance. Contact Jennie Arter, Development Manger, at giving@fairhopehospice.org to give to our Memorial Fund.
