A significant donation is helping to support end-of-life care in Chatham-Kent.
The James A. Beattie Foundation has donated $110,000 to the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation in memory of long-time Beattie Foundation President Jack Morrison.
Morrison passed away on October 26.
“The Beattie Foundation has long exemplified the power of quiet generosity, making a significant and meaningful difference throughout Chatham-Kent. Their continued care and compassion offer real comfort to local families during one of life’s most difficult transitions — supporting them with kindness and dignity as they say goodbye,” said hospice foundation Executive Director Brock McGregor in a news release.
To date, the Beattie Foundation has donated over $240,000 to support local families who access care at Chatham-Kent Hospice.
The hospice foundation needs to raise $157,000 each month to support the operating needs of the hospice.
