The annual Festival of Remembrance for Hospice and Homecare of Reno County to benefit the Hospice House has been scheduled for Friday, Aug. 18 at Prairie Dunes Country Club.
"This year will be our 22nd Festival of Remembrance," said Darla Wilson with Hospice. "Those dollars just go to offset all of the care and the maintenance and everything that's required to keep that building going and provide it to our community."
This one night of fun includes silent and live auctions, raffle drawings for big ticket items and even a car giveaway.
"We have around 50 seats remaining," Wilson said. "Those tickets are $85. You can purchase them on our website or come to our office and get those."
2023 marks the 12th year that Mel Hambelton Ford has pledged a vehicle donation for this premier fundraising event.
"This year, the car raffle ticket could win you a 2017 Ford Escape," said Diane Caffrey with Hospice. "It's a used vehicle. It has 68,000 miles on it. It's in great shape."
"You can either win the vehicle, if you win it, you may keep it," Wilson added. "Or, you can turn it in towards the purchase of a different vehicle. They'll give you a good value for it."
Hospice and HomeCare serves a 50-mile radius and serves patients in their homes, care facilities, and at the Hospice House.
