Hospice is cooking up big fundraiser fun — just in time for holiday shopping. If someone on your gift list is a wiz in the kitchen, join the Pampered Chef and Tupperware Party at the Congregational Church, located at 210 Melrose Avenue in Tryon on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.
From sippy cups to classic bowls, cookie pans to cutting boards, a portion of each purchase goes to support the Hospice TLC Fund. The aptly-named TLC Fund is used to offer patients quality-of-life pleasant or practical perks at a time when they need them the most. Gifts may include tickets to a play or movie, blankets or fans, a shower handrail or a front porch ramp. And in some cases, airfare to help bring a loved one home to the patient’s bedside.
The TLC Fund is in particular need at this time. It is completely comprised of private donations, and receives no contributions or supplementary monies from government or grant sources. That means your participation in this fundraiser will be extra meaningful.
Get ready for an evening of demonstrations, snacks, refreshments, door prizes, music and lively conversation. RSVP is required so the organizers can order the appropriate amount of food and party supplies.
Register, by calling Diane McEntee at 828-894-5951 or Gail Benner at 828-894-5725, and leave a message stating your name and how many will be in your party.
