Fundraise for us
We’re able to do the work we do thanks to the generosity of our donors. Hosting a fundraiser for the hospice is a great way to support our work, and also helps to spread awareness of our services. These events are initiated by an outside party, require minimal hospice staff involvement, and designate a portion of the funds raised to Dorothy Ley Hospice.
Ideas
- Host an event
- Golf or pickleball tournament
