A recent celebration of Inglewood and community connection turned into an impromptu fundraiser for Bethell Hospice.
From 3 to 8 p.m on September 4, at GoodLot Farmstead Brewery, an Inglewood Reunion party was held.
Current and past residents of the small village came together to catch up, share stories, and make new friends. Some residents also participated in a classic car ride to the brewery together.
Janet Harrison, an Inglewood resident who helped organize the reunion, explained that at the event some residents began to collect donations for Bethell Hospice.
Bethell Hospice is a non-profit residential hospice in Inglewood that provides free hospice care and community programs. Inglewood residents take pride in the hospice and many residents are actively involved in fundraising or volunteering for it.
A total of $400 was raised at the reunion, and Harrison presented it to Bethell Hospice in a small ceremony on September 23.
Nicole Hand, Executive Director of the Bethell Hospice Foundation, said it was amazing to hear the event inspired people to donate to Bethell Hospice.
Hand said the event was a great example of all the good that can come from communities coming together.
In addition to Harrison, the Inglewood Reunion was organized by Steve Stephens, Erik Peterson, David Morris, Mary Brock, Doris Wozencroft Billing, and Dawn Bryson Phippen.
