Former Hospice Walk chair and Beverly resident Donald Kelley will be among those honored by Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston next week during the “Celebrating 25” event.
The first Walk for Hospice of the North Shore Greater Boston (HNSGB) was coordinated by a mere 30 volunteers who held a banner and marched up the streets of Beverly. Still going strong in its 25th year, the annual Walk is chaired by dedicated community members, some for multiple years, and the walkers have numbered into the thousands.
To commemorate this milestone and recognize the Walk’s past chairs’ vital role and dedication, HNSGB will be hosting a “Celebrating 25” party on Wednesday, Aug. 29, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at Danversport Yacht Club. The event will not only be honoring the past chairs of our annual Walk but will also begin the countdown to HNSGB’s 25th Walk that will take place on Sept. 23 at St. John’s Prep in Danvers.
There will be hors d’oeuvres, music, raffles, cash bar and a few live auction items. Tickets are $40. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit hns.org or call 978-223-9787.
