Hospice & Community Care Labor Day Auction
The 37th annual 2021 Hospice & Community Care Labor Day auction will
be held in person on September
4 and 6, 2021 at the Solanco
Fairgrounds, in
Quarryville. The fun, family-friendly event is a fundraiser that helps provide hospice, palliative,
supportive and bereavement services to patients and families, regardless of
their ability to pay.
Participants can enjoy locally made homemade delights like apple
fritters, savory breakfast logs, smoky chicken barbecue and refreshing,
hand-spun milkshakes, available all day, beginning at 7:30 a.m. A Labor Day
Auction Club pass is available upon a $100 tax-deductible donation, providing
unlimited food on both event days.
Auction items include vacations and getaways, quilts, jewelry, art,
sports memorabilia, plants, indoor furniture, sheds and outdoor furniture. The Day
of Care auction also provides an opportunity to gift $192, the average cost of
one day of care for someone in need of hospice services. Donations of new quilts, jewelry,
tools, gift baskets, original art, gift cards and vacation packages will be
accepted through August 23, 2021.
Tickets for the 50/50 raffle can be purchased online. Half of the
net proceeds will go to the winner and the other half will be used to provide
personalized, quality care and comfort for families facing end-of-life issues
or coping with a serious illness or loss. The winner will be announced from the
fairgrounds at 4:30 p.m., September 6. Participants do not need to be present
to win.
“We are so glad to be back in person this year and welcome everyone to
join us for this very worthy cause,” shares Holly Cheek, special events
coordinator. “With your support at the auction, we can continue to provide
quality care and comfort to patients and families when they need it most.”
