The Hospice of Windsor & Essex County officially concluded the 19th annual Face to Face Campaign September 30th, and this year the total raised was an astonishing $106,737.00!
Over the last nineteen years of the campaign over 1.4 million dollars has been raised, with funds staying right here in our community, and directly supporting our friends and loved ones. Specifically, Face to Face has supported our Fairley Family Transportation program as it safely gets back up and running.
“Once again we are heartened and humbled by the generous support of the Face to Face Campaign, in support of Hospice. Face to Face was the idea – as you saw your family, friends, or co-workers, you would suggest that they join you in giving $10. Well, COVID may have challenged us but in 2021, ‘Mask to Mask,’ our community has continued to give their $10 to enable Hospice to serve patients and their families when they need it most. Thank you one and all for your kindness.”
John Fairley, Campaign Founder
“For the nineteenth year John, and this amazing community continue to show their support and belief in the work Hospice does,” said Executive Director, Nancy Brockenshire. “Every year our team of dedicated canvassers, sponsors, and champions come together to ensure this campaign is a success. These dollars raised will directly support services like our Transportation Program, which provides much needed rides to our patients and families. We are so grateful for the kindness shown to our Hospice, especially during such difficult times.”
The Hospice Face to Face Campaign runs annually from August 15th to September 30th, and in 19 years has raised over 1.4 million dollars for Hospice.
Founded to address compassionate end-of-life care, The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County Inc. has been an integral part of the Windsor-Essex region since 1979. The Hospice provides care at no cost in our two Hospice Residential Homes (Windsor and Erie Shores/Leamington), through the Community Palliative Medicine Program and through our Wellness Programs and Services. With only partial government funding, it has been through the generous support of our community that Hospice has become the first palliative hospice village in North America. Over time, The Hospice has adapted to meet the needs of the community, and continues to address the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families, now and into the future.
