A fundraiser event.
Friends of Hospice San Antonio was organized in 1991 by a small group of volunteers concerned with the availability of hospice services, helping to ensure no one is denied care due to their inability to pay. OVER 5 million dollars has been raised for uninsured/underinsured hospice patients.
Fundraising dollars come from membership dues, grants, memorials, and year-round events and activities. Donations obtained from fundraising events are used to support uninsured and underinsured patients.
