🦋A heartfelt thank you to Maria Stead, for donating a day of compassionate care at St. Joseph’s Hospice. In memory of Nelly Kester 🦋

Funding a Day of Compassionate Care is more than just a donation, it is a heartfelt contribution that ensures we can continue to offer our community comfort, peace, and exceptional care when they need it the most. Your support enriches our residents and families’ time spent at Hospice during their end-of-life journey, giving them a space to focus on what truly matters.

Daily ‘Care for a Day’ at St. Joseph’s Hospice exceeds $785. With Government funding only covering 56% of the cost per bed per day, we experience a funding shortfall of $345 per bed.

Our $200 Care for a Day Donation helps fund a day of care and bridges the gap to ensure our care continues in the Sarnia Lambton Community.

You can choose to have your donation recognized on our Social Media or remain anonymous. In addition, we will add a butterfly to our Care for a Day board in the Hospice Residence, in recognition of your gift. All donations are eligible for a full tax receipt. You can choose to dedicate a day in memory of a loved one, in honour of someone special, or support a future resident who will need our care.

💙 Thanks to you, we can provide care that truly matters—your support creates a lasting impact.

✨2025 DANCING UNDER THE STARS GALA: A RECORD BREAKING SUCCESS!✨

I am absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news with all of you. This year’s Dancing Under the Stars Gala, held at DeGroot’s Nurseries on November 1, exceeded all expectations. Together, our collective efforts resulted in an astounding net total of $255,000, the highest amount raised at the Gala to date.

This special evening was filled with joy, celebration, and a shared commitment to a cause that profoundly impacts the lives of many in Sarnia Lambton.

This year also brought a unique challenge as we adjusted our plans around the World Series baseball game. In true Gala spirit, we went from ballroom to ballpark and created a fun, relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Our guests embraced the theme and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

I am especially proud of the success of our “Care for a Day” fund a need campaign. Our goal was $40,000 and, thanks to the generosity of our guests and the hard work of our canvassers, we exceeded that goal and raised $50,380. This outstanding result speaks to the strength of our message and the deep support for our mission.

This remarkable achievement was made possible by our very generous community members, sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers and staff. Your support helps us continue providing compassionate care and comfort for individuals and families in Sarnia Lambton.

Special thanks to our Supernova Sponsor, Kel-Gor Ltd. We are extremely grateful for your ongoing support and generosity to St. Joseph’s Hospice, and most importantly, to those we serve during their end of life, grief and bereavement journeys.

Special thanks as well to DeGroot’s Nurseries, our Gala Host Sponsor. Thank you for your incredible generosity in providing the venue for our Gala again this year. Since 2006, you have opened your doors to Hospice and helped create a beautiful setting where our community can come together in support of hospice care.
