Why Support Hospice Through The Albemarle Hospice Regatta?
Your commitment not only helps us build awareness of Hospice care, it helps us to raise money for uncovered Hospice services in our community.
Hospice touches everyone
Hospice helps terminally ill patients and everyone associated with them -- spouses, parents, , children, neighbors, employers and friends -- live better in the remaining time.
Hospice is teamwork in the community and the home
Teams of medical professionals and trained volunteers work with patients and their families to provide Hospice care in their homes or home-like settings. The need for this care is increasing as an aging population increases.
Hospice generates loyalty
Everyone touched by Hospice remembers the people and organizations that helped them through the difficult time. They become loyal proponents of Hospice as well as of those who support it.
Hospice is non-profit and available to everyone
Hospice services are provided without regard to ability to pay, so charitable contributions support services not covered by insurance or other means
Hospice care is unique
Hospice is the only form of care that provides such a full range of services to both patients and their families, tailored to their needs.
In addition to palliative care such as symptom control and pain management, Hospice offers psychological and spiritual support -- and assistance with day-to-day living -- for both patients and others involved with them. Hospice is also unique in offering professional bereavement services such as group or individual counseling and children's programs.
Hospice inspires others to help
Volunteer help and public contributions are essential to Hospice’s success because of the many services not funded by conventional means. While some volunteers are friends or family of Hospice patients, other volunteers and supporters are inspired when they learn about Hospice through the local regattas or the national Championship.
Why Sailing Regattas?
Eye-catching and lively
Hospice regattas are colorful, refreshing attention-getters for the Hospice concept and those who support it.
Different
More public and more casual than many fundraisers, hospice regattas attract more diverse numbers of people. While individuals and companies already supportive of Hospice participate, the sailors and the general public also get involved in contributing time and money.
Large, special audiences
Regattas -- with their accompanying parties, publications, and advertising -- are enjoyable events that offer ample opportunities for sponsors to publicize their products and services to people who care about Hospice, sailing, or both
Sailing is teamwork, too
Sailboat racing requires teamwork. This is naturally appealing and makes a natural fit with Hospice care which must use teamwork to help patients and their families. The teamwork of sailboat racing creates enthusiasm for the events, for Hospice, and for the sponsors who are associated with them. |
