On Saturday, April 6, Chilliwack Hospice Society supporters donned their hats and boots for a night of fundraising in cowboy style at Evergreen Hall. The evening featured a delicious barbeque buffet by Smoke and Bones BBQ, silent and live auctions, and dancing to many popular songs from local band Cold Chain with special guest Trevor McDonald.

In total, $68,000 was raised to help fund the grief and palliative care support the Society provides the community free of charge. Event organizers would like to thank all those who attended or supported the 11th Annual Hometown Hoedown for Hospice through sponsorship, donations, and ticket sales for contributing to its success.

Chilliwack Hospice Society is a community-based organization that helps individuals and families dealing with dying and death through support, education, and programs that promote wellness and healthy grieving.
