NVNA and Hospice held its annual fundraiser, The 12, at the Pat Roche Hospice Home atop Turkey Hill in Hingham on the first evening of summer, Wednesday June 21. Named for the 12 private resident rooms at the hospice home, the charitable event raised more than $500K – critical funds that will be used to support patients and families seeking end-of-life care. 520 guests gathered at the sold-out event for an evening of inspiration and connection. Under the tent, guests heard stories from grateful hospice families and enjoyed live music from the Boston Pops Community Gospel Choir.
The event was chaired by Tracy Clifford and Stacey Page with committee members Megan Aldridge, Maryellen Arapoff, Megan Belson, Meaghan Berge, Jessica Bowen, Maggie Carter, Jennifer DeGraan, Michelle Doran, Kim Froio, Laura Herrald, Kellie Lynch, Jacqueline MacBean, Linda McDonald, Laura Mullette, Erica Riley, Cara Rinaldi, Alanna Skeels, Molly Smith, Diane Willson, and Laura Winters.
