From Hope Hospice: February 26 2020 DUBLIN, CA -- Members of the Castlettes, Castlewood Country Club's all-female nine-hole golf club, presented a ceremonial donation check in the amount of $5,100 to Hope Hospice on February 4, 2020. The funds come from the Castlettes' annual holiday luncheon that benefits several local organizations, Hope among them. The December 2019 event was organized by Vicki Brown. Fellow Castlettes donated a generous number of items for the raffle and silent auction, as well as solicited local businesses for donations. The group also provided Secret Santa gifts to Seniors of the Tri-Valley. "The Castlettes are a generous and lively group of women who are passionate about giving back to their community," says Linda Simpson, the golf club's captain. "Hope Hospice is especially near and dear to our hearts, as this organization has provided care for several Castlettes and their families. This year's benefit luncheon was held in honor of Bob Glynn, Harry Sheppard, and Sharon DeSousa. Hope compassionately cared for Bob and Harry this past year. We are truly grateful for the compassionate services that Hope provides. Thank you to the entire team." Hope and Castlewood Country Club have worked together on charity events over the years, including the upcoming By Your Side Awards Luncheon on March 26, 2020, and the annual Hope 100 Golf Marathon taking place on September 24, 2020. "The entire Hope team appreciates the ongoing generosity of the Castlettes, which helps us serve more families in the Tri-Valley," says Hope CEO Jennifer Hansen. "Their annual support helps us offset costs of running our Grief Support Center and Family Caregiver Education Series, which are available to the public at no charge. Support from community organizations is vital to helping us achieve our mission of supporting our hospice patients and their loved ones with exceptional care, compassion, and dignity."
