Hospice Huntsville’s annual Purple Tea Party continues to grow year after year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s great to see so many people out in a sea of purple supporting Hospice Huntsville,\u201d said Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano during the event on April 8 at Huntsville Place Mall. \u201cWe’re so lucky to have the services of Hospice Huntsville and all the volunteers and all of you folks out here supporting them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Purple Tea Party is a fundraising event leading up to the annual Hike for Hospice, which takes place on May 7 this year.<\/p>\n

Hospice Huntsville is responsible for raising 50 per cent ($534,000) of its annual costs, the other 50 per cent comes from the Local Health Integration Network.<\/p>\n

Last year Hospice Huntsville raised about $56,000 from the hike. This year the goal is $55,000.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Melissa Polischuk, fundraising and public relations coordinator for Hospice Huntsville, said family and friends have found walking in memory of those they’ve lost to be a positive and meaningful experience, giving them a way to celebrate their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a way of giving back to the community but also raising awareness on end-of-life care,\u201d she said. \u201cIt’s important because it affects us all. As we go through life, at some point you’ll be in need, whether it’s a family member, friend or your neighbour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three young violinists from the Huntsville Suzuki School of Music performed throughout the event for guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cPalliative care is so needed,\u201d said PSW Samantha Giese, the mother of the three violinists. She’ll soon graduate as an RPN. \u201cIt’s the last time to say goodbye in a home-like environment when you can’t be home any more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funds raised from the Purple Tea Party go toward the overall fundraising goal of the hike. The 2017 tea party raised $17,102 from pre-event donations, admission donations, the tea pot centerpiece auction and the silent auction. It’s the most successful Purple Tea Party fundraising event since its inception in 2013.<\/p>\n
