The 2022 Hike for Hospice fundraiser has been cancelled.
The Chilliwack Hospice Society made the announcement on social media last week.
“Due to a predicted likelihood of low attendance, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Hike for Hospice event and will instead focus our fundraising efforts elsewhere,” the post on Facebook read.
“We understand this may disappoint some of our supporters and for that we apologize. For those of you who wish to fundraise for Chilliwack Hospice Society this summer, we encourage you to look for upcoming opportunities including a new 50/50 draw and our Swingin’ on a Star annual gala, Sept. 24. As always, our Thrifty Boutique gratefully accepts donations on behalf of the society.”
Original story:
After two years of virtual hikes, an annual Chilliwack fundraiser returns as an in-person event this summer.
The annual Hike for Hospice is set for Saturday, July 10 at Sardis Park.
It’s a fun, family-friendly event which raises funds in support of the free bereavement and palliative care support programs and services provided by Chilliwack Hospice Society.
Folks can run, walk or cycle and register as an individual or as part of a team. Participants collect pledges online.
To join a team, create a team or join as an individual, go to chilliwackhospice.org/calendar-events/hike-for-hospice. People can also simply donate to the cause without taking part by going to the same site.
The 2022 Hike for Hospice is Saturday, July 10 from noon to 2 p.m. at Sardis Park.
