Organized by community members Gerry Enns and Kim Percy, with support from Chilliwack Hospice Society event manager Sharilyn Jackson, the annual tournament honours the memory and legacy of beloved local business leader Russ Walsh while raising vital funds for free grief and palliative care programs and services in our community.

Held at Meadowlands Golf & Country Club, this year’s tournament raised nearly $60,000 for Chilliwack Hospice Society, helping ensure individuals and families facing dying, death, grief, and bereavement can continue to access compassionate support at no cost.

Participants enjoyed a round of golf on Meadowlands’ scenic 18-hole, par 70 course, along with lunch and opportunities to connect with friends, colleagues, and fellow community members throughout the day.

Now in its third year, the Russ Walsh Memorial Golf Tournament continues to bring people together in Russ’ memory while carrying forward his legacy of community support.

Chilliwack Hospice Society extends its sincere thanks to Gerry Enns and Kim Percy for their continued leadership in organizing the tournament, to presenting sponsor Prospera, and to the golfers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, Meadowlands Golf & Country Club, and everyone who contributed to another meaningful and successful event.

Chilliwack Hospice Society is grateful to reveal the results of the 12th annual Hometown Hoedown for Hospice, held on Saturday, April 5 at Evergreen Hall, which raised over $59,000 for the benefit of the Society’s free grief support and palliative care support programs for children, youth, and adults in Chilliwack and the surrounding communities.

Guests enjoyed a lively evening of fun and fundraising, featuring a delicious barbecue dinner provided by local favourite Guerilla Q, a spirited silent auction, and a country dance with toe-tapping tunes and plenty of cowboy charm. The Dessert Dash returned with sweet success thanks to the generosity of local bakers and businesses.

“We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from our community,” said Sue Knott, Executive Director of Chilliwack Hospice Society. “Whether someone donated an auction item, volunteered their time, or simply showed up with a giving heart, their support helps ensure that individuals and families facing serious illness, dying, and grief have access to compassionate care and support — at no cost — at our centre, in hospice or hospital, or wherever they call home.”

Chilliwack Hospice Society extends heartfelt thanks to all event sponsors, auction and Dessert Dash donors, volunteers, vendors, attendees, and everyone who bid on auction items or participated in the 50/50 draw, Heads or Tails game, or spun the Wild West Wheel. Their generosity makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those the Society serves.
