Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation Gala - Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation

Join us for the 9^th annual Hospice Benefit Gala, an elegant and inspiring evening to raise essential funds for local families who receive end-of-life care and grief support through Chatham-Kent Hospice. Hosted at the iconic Chatham Armory, guests will delight in a custom three-course meal prepared by chefs Tina & Tony Mesquita of Lentina’s Catering.

Throughout the evening guests will learn about the impact of Hospice in our community and will have the opportunity to participate in the silent and live auction, memorial experiences, the Golden Ticket draw and the Diamond Draw before the evening culminates in a music-filled after party.
