Nipissing Serenity Hospice Hike for Hospice that is scheduled for May 3, 2020 has been postponed due to the COVID-19 global health pandemic. With many uncertainties in the coming weeks, it is in the best interests of our community to reschedule this event at a later date in 2020.
While we regret the event will not take place as scheduled; safety is always our first consideration for all parties involved. Please stay tuned for a future advisory announcing the rescheduled date for this important event.
Nipissing Serenity Hospice is a not-for-profit organization, and a gift to our community. The programs and services offered at NSH are free of charge to those who reside in the Districts of Nipissing and East Parry Sound and their loved ones. To continue our operations, we rely on generous donations to meet 60% of our operating budget each year.
The annual Hike for Hospice is the biggest fundraising event for the Nipissing Serenity Hospice nipissingserenityhospice.ca/hike-2020 100% of the donations will stay local and support our residential hospice palliative care services.
Despite the event being postponed, we ask our community to continue to consider registering a team, becoming a sponsor or making a donation towards our Hike for Hospice. The proceeds of this event are significant to the well being of our organization.
Online donations can be made, at any time, through our website nipissingserenityhospice.ca/donate
Thank you for your continued support; we look forward to have you join us at our annual Hike once a new date has been determined.
