We do this not only for this money but to get the community involved. Everyone walks at their own pace and we have refreshments and fellowship at the Hospice office afterwards. The lights on the Christmas tree are white. The community does this outside of the office at night. The tree stays lit until the New Year.
Luminaries line the parking lot where people are sitting or standing.
Families and staff find this very meaningful. People gather afterwards in the office or a church for cider and cookies. This also served as a memorial service, and a fund raiser for our foundation. Clarian Home Health and Hospice, Methodist Division, Indianapolis, Indiana Dinner Theater Collaborate with a local community theater to have opening night of a great play at a location where you can have a catered dinner. Sell tickets at inflated prices to cover the cost of the dinner and make a profit on the fund raiser.
