What an incredible Hike Day!

Thanks to the kindness, energy, and support of our community, this year’s Hike for Hospice surpassed our $60,000 goal and the total continues to flourish as more Hike funds continue to be processed and tallied.
 
Your support helps ensure compassionate care continues for those who need it most.
Thank you generous Hike for Hospice Huntsville sponsors, hikers and donors
 
Our 17th Annual Hike for Hospice was an amazing day!
On behalf of all of all of us at Hospice Huntsville we sincerely appreciate:
💜 Every dollar raised,
💜 Every volunteer hour given,
💜 Every “step” that has made a difference!
Thank you to our “extended family” of Hike participants, sponsors, donors, volunteers and the Hike for Hospice Committee who literally put their heart and “sole/soul” into this fantastic event!
The 17th Annual Hike for Hospice Huntsville was a true reflection of our community’s passion towards end-of-life care.
 
All funds raised stay in our community. These vital gifts go directly to support our hospice residents, clients, and their families through our hospice residence Algonquin Grace and community hospice programs & services, so they can remain at no cost.
