The Hearts for Hospice fundraiser hosted by Pella Regional Health Center is returning after a five-year pause on Saturday, February 22nd.

The event will be held from 5:00 to 9:00 pm at the Pella Opera House, and is designed to support the work of hospice care in the Pella community. During the event, attendees will hear heartfelt stories and live music from the Sully Big Band, while enjoying dinner and dessert. Those in attendance can also participate in a live auction and raffle drawings that will take place throughout the night. Pella Regional Health Center Foundation Coordinator Jenny Hesseltine says that funds raised from the event will go directly to help with upgrades and programs at Hospice of Pella.

“A part of that will be a little bit of a face lift for the Comfort House after 21 years of being in operation. We’re also really working to increase some programmatic offerings within the facility and home hospice. So, one that we are beginning this year, with the help of a seed grant from the Marion County Community Foundation, is massage therapy for our hospice patients. We hope to raise enough through this event to not only do that facelift, but also ensure the availability of massage therapy services for the next two years at Hospice of Pella.”
