Why Your Evening Matters
Over the past ten years, Hospice Fredericton has walked alongside patients and families with compassion and dignity. At the Hearts for Hospice Gala, we’ll celebrate the moments that mattered, honour those we’ve served, and build momentum for the future of hospice care in our community. Your presence helps ensure specialized care, grief support, and family resources are available when they’re needed most. Funds raised at the gala will strengthen hospice programs and community outreach throughout Greater Fredericton.
“10 Years of Going Above & Beyond” isn’t just a milestone. It’s a promise to continue being Rooted in Care.
