Heartbeat of Hospice Radiothon
Foothills Country Hospice is thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of the Heartbeat of Hospice Radiothon in partnership with the Eagle 100.9FM, held on February 13, 2025. With the incredible generosity of the community and the support of matching donors, the event has raised over $400,000—far surpassing the initial goal of $100,000.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, storytellers, and every individual who contributed. Your support ensures that we can continue to provide comfort, dignity, and care to those in need.
Amplifying Your Impact!
We are incredibly grateful to our generous matching donors, whose collective contributions amplified the power of every dollar raised during our Radiothon. All donations have been matched at a rate of 2.5 to 1, up to $100,000! That means for every $1 you gave, Foothills Country Hospice received 2.5 times that amount to support compassionate, end-of-life care for those who need it most.
A heartfelt thank you to our generous matching donors, whose collective support is making every donation go even further: Doug & Susan Ramsay, David & Leslie Bissett, The Family of Ed Chynoweth, The Integrity Group, Brian & Debbie Miller, and Bob & Sandra Merkley.
