May 29, 2024 (Jacksonville, Fla.) – The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care is pleased to announce that the recent Children are Rock Stars (C.A.R.S) benefit event, presented by Ring Power and held at The Brumos Collection, raised an impressive $328,000.
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ring Power and the dedicated C.A.R.S. committee for their incredible effort and unwavering support, which were instrumental in making this event a success,” said Annie Tuttle, Executive Director of The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. “Their commitment to our cause and the generous contributions from our donors and sponsors have made a significant impact.”
The annual C.A.R.S. event directly benefits Community PedsCare® in Jacksonville, the pediatric program of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, which offers support to children living with serious and life-limiting illnesses and their families.
