The Howard J. Rees Foundation recently presented a cheque for $100,000 to Chatham-Kent Hospice to support the Capital Campaign which is raising funds to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Chatham-Kent.
Pictured (L-R) are from Chatham-Kent Hospice: Jennifer Wilson-Board Chair, John Case – Capital Campaign Chair and from The Howard J. Rees Foundation: Jason Mallory – Director, Ed O’Brien – Vice-President, Anne Fisher – President.
The Howard J. Rees Foundation, founded by the late Dr. Rees of Blenheim, is committed to supporting projects that will benefit Blenheim and South Kent communities.
The Chatham-Kent Hospice will be a 10 bed residence that cares for patients and their families and friends who are dealing with a terminal illness, providing comfort, support and pain management in a home-like setting.
The Capital Campaign goal is $5 million; $3 million to build the residential facility and $2 million for an Operational Sustainability Fund.
