The Purple Boot Campaign is an important source of income for Hospice Huntsville. These fabulous, symbolic purple boots can be seen at local businesses and organizations raising, not only funds but also awareness for Hospice Huntsville. This year’s fundraising campaign launched on March 8, 2024, along with the Tulips for Hospice fundraiser.
The launch of the Purple Boot Campaign signifies that spring, and our annual Hike for Hospice Huntsville, is just around the corner. The Hike for Hospice is an opportunity to reflect on those we have lost while connecting with the support of our community. This year’s Hike takes place on Sunday, May 5 at River Mill Park in Downtown Huntsville.
“We are excited to announce we are celebrating the 15th year of the Hike for Hospice Huntsville,” notes Melissa Polischuk, Hospice Huntsville Fund Development & Public Relations Coordinator.
All proceeds (100%) of the Purple Boot Campaign donations go towards the Hike for Hospice Huntsville goal of $50,000. Online donations can be made through: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/PurpleBootforHospiceHuntsville
