ARCH Hospice Fundraisers
ARCH Hospice receives partial funding from the government. The rest we must raise with the support of generous donors like you! Every year we must raise $850,000 to continue providing compassionate care for our community at no cost to patients and their families.
Our community has been incredibly supportive and very generous to ARCH since we opened our doors. Each day we continue to be amazed by all of the individuals, and businesses- both local and national that support us. These events not only allow us to raise proceeds that go towards the care, and comfortable we provide each day, but to share our journey at ARCH. We provide warm and inviting spaces where family and friends can spend meaningful time together in the last hours, days, or weeks of their loved ones' lives.
Butterfly Release - Thursday, July 25th
We are delighted to announce the 6th Annual Butterfly Release presented by O'Sullivan Funeral Home! Join us at the Bellevue Marina for a unique opportunity to celebrate the life of a loved one by releasing a butterfly in their honour or memory. Butterflies are a beautiful appreciation of a life lived and a multicultural symbol of change, transformation, and the beauty of nature. Their release signifies freedom and encourages those left behind to take another step in the healing process.
