Tens of thousands raised from 11th annual Hometown Hoedown for Hospice Saturday night in Chilliwack
CHILLIWACK — Supporters of Chilliwack Hospice Society sported plaid, cowboy hats and boots for an evening of fundraising “cowboy-style” Saturday night (Apr. 6) at Evergreen Hall in Chilliwack, raising tens of thousands of dollars for the valuable programs and service that Chilliwack Hospice provides locally.
The 11th annual Hometown Hoedown for Hospice featured an awesome barbeque buffet by Smoke and Bones BBQ, silent and live auctions, and dancing to many popular songs from local band Cold Chain with special guest Trevor McDonald, according to a news release from marketing manager Desmond Devnich.
