“We are so thankful to the Friendship Circle for hosting this wonderful party for us,” says Jean Eckert, CEO of Hospice of the Carolina Foothills. “Many of them know first-hand the work that is done at the Hospice House. So, it is inspiring to us that they are willing not only to volunteer for us at the House, the Thrift Barn, or the North Carolina office, but to then offer their time to produce this event to benefit the patients and families served at the Hospice House. We are blessed to have them helping us, both in the organizing and in the sponsorship of this event.”

For tickets and information contact the Development Office at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 828-894-7000 or 864-457-9122.
