2025 25th Anniversary Fall Gala
Mark your calendars for one of the most anticipated events of the season…our 2025 Silver Jubilee! Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation’s 25th Anniversary Committee and Board of Trustees invite you to celebrate the Foundation’s 25 years of service in raising awareness and funding support for Hudson Valley Hospice on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at Keepsake at The Academy in Poughkeepsie, as we celebrate and honor the Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation’s 25th anniversary of ensuring that every patient and family receives the end-of-life care they deserve.
This year, we are delighted to honor Marshall+Sterling with our Legacy Award, recognizing their 160-year long commitment to our beloved community. We are equally excited to honor our dedicated Volunteer Corp. with the Nancy Brownell Community Service Award. A consummate volunteer herself, each of our volunteers embodies Nancy’s generous spirit and tireless efforts to make the world a better place.
Your sponsorship and gifts are critical now more than ever. They make a difference in the lives of the men, women and children of Dutchess and Ulster Counties who are facing a life limiting illness of themselves or a loved one, providing charity care, nonformulary drugs and so much more during a vital time in their lives.
Our Silver Jubilee is more than just a milestone, it is a tribute to the moments, memories and people who have and continue to make it all possible. We hope that you will join us as we toast the past, celebrate the present and plan for the future with a magical evening filled with unforgettable moments, elegant dining, dancing and more, as we honor a quarter-century of service and support.
