American Legion check presentation.

Norwich, CT (September 8, 2013) – On September 8, 2013, the American Legion Riders of Post 112 in Montville donated $1,529 to Center for Hospice Care. These funds were raised through their annual Dave Leiper Benefit Run held in June 2013. They raised $1,529 to support the services Center for Hospice Care provides to the community. Patti Kovalik coordinated the check presentation at their Montville location. “The American Legion Riders are heroes in every sense of the word,” says Denise Hawk, Annual Giving and Special Events Administrator. “They continue to serve their community in the most selfless ways. The ripple effects of their support will be felt by the patients and families receiving end of life care and support from Center for Hospice Care’s expert team and the members of our community who are able to receive bereavement support free of charge.” For information about hosting your own event in support of the programs and services provided through Center for Hospice Care, contact Denise Hawk at 860.848.5699 or dhawk@hospicesect.org.
