“The mission of The Caroline Hospice Foundation would not be possible without the support of the community and organizations like The Choptank River Yacht Club,” said Caroline Hospice Human Resources Manager Brandy Cathcart. “We are so grateful for the support that was shown at The Heels for Hospice Event this past August.”
“Hospice affects everyone, and we want to do our part to give back to Caroline Hospice,” said Choptank River Yacht Club member David Wood. “They do great work for so many people. This is a way we can raise money and support them for all they do for us and Caroline County families.”
