Spectrum Health Lakeland’s Hospice at Home has held another successful fundraiser. Lakeland told us more:
On Saturday, August 6, hundreds of community members, and volunteers attended the annual South Haven Hospice Benefit: Wine & Beer Tasting for Caring Circle which took place on the property of Dan and Mary Nulty, along the South Beach bluff in South Haven. Through sponsorships, ticket sales, and event activities, a total of $79,474 was raised in support of hospice care for the community of South Haven and surrounding areas.”
Attendees generously donated $18,050 at the event to fund 95 days of hospice care for those utilizing end-of-life care locally. This year’s sold-out event was a family affair, with daughter and son-in-law, Tara Nulty and Patrick Miller, hosting the VIP event, and son-in-law, Mike Beals, providing the smoked meats served. Event attendees enjoyed wine and beer tastings from 16 local vendors, live music by Paul Vornhagen Jazz trio, and heavy hors d’oeuvres by Taste & Friends.
“We want to extend our sincerest appreciation to Dan and Mary Nulty for hosting this event for the past ten years, we cannot thank you enough your continued support,” said Melinda Gruber, PhD, CEO, Caring Circle, and vice president, continued care services, Spectrum Health Lakeland. “Community support from donations to volunteers ensures that we can continue to meet the hospice care needs of those in our community.”
