Sudbury's Pure Country 91.7 has partnered with Maison McCulloch Hospice to revive the Care-A-Thon, a major fundraiser aimed at supporting end-of-life care and services in the region. The event returns after a hiatus, bringing together the community to raise crucial funds for the hospice.
Fundraising for compassionate care
The Care-A-Thon will feature on-air appeals, community events, and donations from listeners and local businesses. All proceeds go directly to Maison McCulloch Hospice, which provides palliative care and support to patients and their families. According to organizers, the goal is to raise $100,000 this year to enhance services and expand capacity.
“We are thrilled to bring back the Care-A-Thon and rally the community behind such an important cause,” said a spokesperson for Pure Country 91.7. “Every dollar raised helps ensure that families in Sudbury have access to compassionate end-of-life care when they need it most.”
Community impact
Maison McCulloch Hospice has been a cornerstone of the Sudbury community, offering a home-like environment for patients and professional support for families. The funds from the Care-A-Thon will help cover operational costs, equipment, and programs that are not fully funded by government sources.
The hospice serves hundreds of patients each year, and demand continues to grow as the population ages. The Care-A-Thon is a vital part of sustaining these services and expanding outreach to underserved areas.
How to participate
Listeners can donate online, through the radio station, or at various community events planned throughout the campaign. Pure Country 91.7 will broadcast live updates and share stories of how the hospice has made a difference in local lives.
“We encourage everyone to tune in and give what they can,” added the spokesperson. “Together, we can make a real difference for those facing life’s most difficult journey.”
