The public may purchase raffle tickets online at www.KCHospice.org/SNL beginning today. There are packages to appeal to everyone, from a Foodie Tour of Kansas City, to vacation getaways, to sports packages. You need not be present to win.
“Each year the Sunday Night Live Committee approaches area businesses, organizations and individuals to provide raffle prizes in support of our home town,” said Caryn Hohnholt, Vice President of Development. “Each year we are amazed by the generosity here in Kansas City, supporting end-of-life care for the area’s most vulnerable populations, especially children.”
The winning raffle tickets will be drawn at Sunday Night Live, the signature fundraising event for Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care. Last year’s event brought in about $400,000, all of it used right here in Kansas City to provide care and comfort to KC families. Last year, donors made possible:
- $589,000 in care was provided to patients without resources to pay
- More than 70 children and family members attended grief support camps, Camp Carousel and Camp Erin, at no cost to them
- 63 little ones were cared for by our Carousel pediatric hospice team
