Hospice Palliative Care Week (May 5 – 11, 2019) wrapped up with the award of two prizes. Lucky winner of flight for two anywhere Westjet flies went to Rachel Kostiuk; second prize of a $1000 Rona gift card went to Brad Steed – congratulations to you both!

The Penticton & District Hospice Society thanks Westjet and Rona for their generous donations to help raise awareness and funds for the Hospice Society and also would like to thank Cherry Lane Shopping Centre, Bell Media, Penticton Herald and our valuable volunteers for their continuing support.

Nine year old Lola Latchford has found a creative way to raise money for the Penticton & District Hospice Society in memory of her Grandfather, Bruce Schoenne who passed away in Moog & Friends Hospice House last year. She makes beautiful bracelets and donates a portion of her sales from her company “Beads for Needs” to Hospice. This week, Lola (right) presented $150 to Catey Brenton, P&D Hospice Society administrator. Thank you Lola!
