Doves of Hope and Remembrance

The "Doves" is a special two-month campaign that is the Hospice's single largest fundraising event. It engages more than 150 volunteers each year to help raise funds for the Hospice's Day Program. Decorative holiday trees are located in community locations such as Cloverdale Mall, and local schools and businesses. People can place their memory or message of hope on a special holiday dove and then place it on a tree. A holiday celebration for volunteers and a direct mail campaign are also part of the regular line-up of activities.
