Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County will celebrate a milestone this summer as it hosts the 25th Annual Festival of Remembrance on Friday, Aug. 14.

The organization's largest annual fundraiser will begin at 6 p.m. at the 1861 Club in Hutchinson. The evening will feature silent and live auctions, raffles, food, beverages and fellowship, bringing community members together in support of local hospice care.

Funds raised during the event help Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County provide compassionate hospice services to patients and families throughout Reno County and surrounding communities.

"The support we receive through the Festival of Remembrance helps us continue providing hospice care to patients and families throughout our region," said Tara Dahlstrom, Ancillary Services and Business Development Director for Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County. "Funds raised help offset the cost of care for patients in need, support the Hospice House, and ensure we never turn away an eligible hospice patient because of their ability to pay."

The event has become a longstanding tradition for the organization, which is marking the fundraiser's 25th year in 2026.

"As we celebrate the 25th Festival of Remembrance, we're reminded how much this community cares for its neighbors," said Darla Wilson, Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County. "The continued support of this event helps us provide comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to local families facing life's most difficult moments."

Individual tickets are available for $100. Reserved tables are available for $1,500, while premium reserved tables are $2,500. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
