Diana Abshire and Celia Montgomery
The Redding Country Club was the setting for fresh flowers, great food, good friends and gorgeous fashions – all to raise funds on behalf of Regional Hospice’s patient care. The 11th annual fundraising luncheon of the Redding Giving Circles was a tremendous success due to the exceptional attention to detail, and conscientious planning of our devoted volunteers. These hardworking women collected a bounty of raffle prizes and silent auction items from generous merchants and individuals throughout the community, while also arranging for a fashion show with the latest styles from Lyn Evans Potpourri Designs.
Regional Hospice and Home Care’s President & CEO, Cynthia Emiry Roy thanked those in attendance for their dedication and generosity, and reminded everyone why supporting hospice patients is of such tremendous value. She played a video of a young patient who, through the support of generous donors and his RHHC Social Worker, was able to fulfill a bucket list wish of skydiving. The breathtaking footage and look of joy on that young man’s face was enough to bring many attendees to tears.
