SUMMARY:Hospice Face to Face Campaign
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT FACE TO FACE\nIt’s that time of year once again\, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off our 24th Annual Face to Face Campaign! \nOver the last 23 years\, The Hospice Face to Face Campaign has raised over 1.8 million dollars in support for the Fairley Family Transportation Program\, which provides rides for Hospice patients and families across our community. \nIn 2022\, we added a new\, impactful addition to the program – The G.E.N.I.E. Program (Granting Exceptional N’ Impactful Experiences). This program offers the opportunity for patients receiving Hospice care\, whether in our Hospice Residences\, or in their own home\, to request special trips or outings. Thanks to our partners at the County of Essex and Essex-Windsor EMS\, we are able to provide safe and accessible rides to patients who want to attend one last family reunion\, or spend a few hours at a local park\, or even visit their family home one last time – creating a memorable experience for them and their loved ones. \nEvery dollar donated to the Face to Face campaign goes directly towards supporting Hospice patients and their families in our community – but we can’t do it without you! \n  \nHow can you help support these memorable moments and much-needed rides? \n\nCollect pledges from friends and family as a Face to Face Canvasser\nMake a personal donation online\, through the mail\, or in support of a Face to Face Canvasser\nSpread the word about Face to Face!\n\n  \nMore information coming soon\n  \nThank you to our Honourary Chair of the Face to Face Campaign\, and our Chair of the Hospice Board of Directors\, Dr. Gary Ing for his continued commitment to our Hospice and thank you to our long-time friend and our Hospice Champion\, John Fairley\, without you\, none of this would be possible.
