BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The 8th Annual Carol S. Weeks Memorial Hospice Benefit recently raised $8,500 for Hospice of Southern West Virginia. The three-day event was hosted by Calacino’s Pizzeria owner Jeff Weeks.
The awareness event is important to Weeks whose mother received hospice services after a battle with an autoimmune disease.
In addition to providing the community with a great food, raffles and a 50/50, stellar live bands commit to the memorial event at Calacino’s each year.. The Thomas Danley Band, Nothing Noble, and Matt Jones & The Road are crowd favorites and avid supporters of the event.
As Weeks, and his wife Jamie, presented the check to Janett Green, CEO for HSWV, the ongoing mutual gratitude was evident.
“We really can’t thank you enough for your continued support and dedication to hospice,” said Green. “These funds help us to continue to help patients and their families during a time when they need it most.”
Weeks understands, noting, “We will never forget the special kind of caring you showed for my mom. You helped us help her. By having the Carol S. Weeks Memorial Hospice Benefit we keep her memory alive, but also know the money raised will be used to care for others facing end-of-life symptoms from terminal diagnosis.”
