The 2018 Face to Face Hospice Campaign has raised $105,000 this year for Hospice Windsor and Essex County.
Organizer John Fairley said the annual event surpassed the goal of $90,000. Last year, a record $118,000 was raised.
Fairley added that this year's total puts the campaign at $1,029,300 over the last 16 years.
The campaign supports the Hospice’s Fairley Family Transportation Program, which provides more than 9,000 rides to patients and their caregivers to medical appointments, treatments, or the Hospice Wellness Centre for programs.
“This is beyond our wildest dreams,” said Executive Director Carol Derbyshire. “I was talking to John about the very first campaign not too long ago and he remarked how he didn’t know whether it would even last six years. To have this amount raised in the sixteenth year is astounding.”
