On June 19, NVNA and Hospice held its 10th annual The 12 event on the grounds of the Pat Roche Hospice Home atop Hingham’s Turkey Hill. More than $600,000 in critical funds were raised under the tent to support patients and families seeking end-of-life care.
Over 600 guests gathered at the sold-out event, named for the 12 patient rooms at the home, for an evening of impact and inspiration. Family hospice experiences were shared, colleagues were honored, and live entertainment was provided by local musicians Steve and Sarah Bass.
“Our ability to increase patient care access is directly due to the fact that this community supports our non-profit mission,” said Renee McInnes, MBA, RN, CEO of NVNA and Hospice. “Each year I am overwhelmed by the generosity that continues to grow along with us.”
The event was organized by co-chairs Tracy Clifford and Stacey Page and committee members Megan Aldridge, Maryellen Arapoff, Megan Belson, Michelle Doran, Kim Froio, Laura Herrald, Kellie Lynch, Laura Mullette, Erica Riley, Alanna Skeels, Susan Sullivan, and Diane Willson.
Premier sponsors of the event included Alera Group, Coastal Dealerships, Coastal Heritage Bank, FreightPlus, Jack Conway, Keohane Funeral Homes, Quincy Mutual Group, Roche Bros., The Catered Affair, The McKim Children’s Charitable Foundation, Wells Fargo Advisors, Maryellen and Anton Arapoff, The Finnegan Family, Diane and Tom Willson, Monica McKim Smith, Realtor – William Raveis, and Joy, Christopher, and Amanda Moore.
Since 2013, the Pat Roche Hospice Home has provided a dignified and peaceful environment for those facing a life-limiting illness. NVNA and Hospice was the first non-profit in the region to open a hospice residence and currently carries a daily census of over 1,200 patients across all clinical disciplines.
