Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw will be hosting an inspirational fundraising event at the Mae Wilson Theatre on Thursday, March 28.
The event, which is called “An Evening of Love, Hope, Faith & Resilience,” will start at 6:30 p.m.
Heartland Hospice chairperson Lena Hartman says the fundraiser is aimed at raising funds for a new project the hospice will be undertaking soon. The project will be the creation of a beautiful garden outside of the hospice room to provide serenity for clients and families who use the room.
“We’re hoping to raise as much as we can to support our room at Memory Lane at Pioneer Lodge. For our upcoming project, we’re hoping to do a garden to promote serenity for the people and families that are using the room. This would be built in the outside space next to the hospice. We want to do some beautiful landscaping, install a water feature and a pathway. We already have a plan that was designed for the garden’s development so we’re hoping we can start that soon with help from this fundraiser. We would like to start this summer.”
“An Evening of Love, Hope, Faith & Resilience” will have featured guest speakers, Greg and Leone Ottenbreit. The community will also be able to enjoy some delicious Hors D’oeuvres, music and a silent auction. Heartland Hospice says the speakers, Greg and Leone have navigated life’s greatest losses and victories. They will share how their profound love, deep faith, undying hope empowered them to find the resilience to rise up and thrive.
Hartman added that the evening will be one of inspiration and awareness from a family who has experienced the challenges that come with losing a loved one.
“We want people who attend to receive information on how to cope during loss and some of life's challenges. We want it to also be an inspirational night for the community. We have two wonderful speakers and we’ll also give the community an update on what we’re doing at Heartland Hospice.”
Hartman says Heartland Hospice continues to receive tremendous support from the community.
“We truly appreciate the community’s support and the overwhelming response every time we’ve requested help. It has been very humbling, and we are thankful to the community for everything they’ve done.”
Tickets for the event are $25 and are available for purchase at the Mae Wilson box office, by calling 306-693-4700, or via the Cultural Centre's website.
