Annual Face to Face raises over $106,000

This year's Face to Face campaign raised over $106,000 for Hospice of Windsor and Essex County.

The 19th annual campaign launched in August and ran until the end of September. The funds raised go toward the Fairley Family Transportation program that supports Hospice.

“Once again we are heartened and humbled by the generous support of the Face to Face Campaign, in support of Hospice,” said John Fairley, Campaign Founder. “Face to Face was the idea – as you saw your family, friends, or co-workers, you would suggest that they join you in giving $10. Well, COVID may have challenged us but in 2021, ‘Mask to Mask,’ our community has continued to give their $10 to enable Hospice to serve patients and their families when they need it most. Thank you one and all for your kindness.”

Over 19 years, the campaign has raised over $1.4 million dollars for Hospice.

“Every year our team of dedicated canvassers, sponsors, and champions come together to ensure this campaign is a success. These dollars raised will directly support services like our Transportation Program, which provides much-needed rides to our patients and families. We are so grateful for the kindness shown to our Hospice, especially during such difficult times,” said Hospice Executive Director Nancy Brockenshire.
