August 8, 2008
On behalf of Niagara Hospice, I would like to thank you for supporting the 2008 Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta! The Niagara River Cruise will take place at the Youngstown Yacht Club on Friday August 8, 2008.
Experience for yourself the fun and excitement this event generates. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that your support is making a difference in the lives of Hospice patients and their families in our community.
The proceeds from the regatta provide revenue for Niagara Hospice to use in their work with individuals and families dealing with end-of-life illnesses. Niagara Hospice provides service to over 700 Niagara County families each year. No individual is denied Hospice care regardless of his or her ability to pay. Families who are uninsured or underinsured can take comfort in the fact that hospice services are available to them.
If you would like to participate, you can purchase a boarding pass by following the instructions on this website. To date we have raised over $175,000 for Niagara Hospice. Last year alone we raised over $30,000! Please continue as our partner in supporting this very worthwhile cause.
On behalf of all the patients and families that Hospice serves, I would like to thank you in advance for your participation and support!
Paul R. Beatty Jr.,
Chairman
