"The Big Bad Ball is always one of the highlights of our fundraising year, but this year's event is extra special since 2011 marks our 10th anniversary. We at Hospice of Wake County are most appreciative of all the volunteers who have been involved with the event over the years and to all who have attended," said Michael Blanchard, Vice President of Development for Hospice of Wake County. "Their efforts and support have helped make hospice care possible for hundreds of patients who otherwise might have been denied much-needed services at the end of life."
Blanchard further noted that the thanks come not only from the staff of hospice but also from the family members of our patients. The husband of one patient recently wrote, "All the hospice team should be thanked for the marvelous help and support given to me, my wife and our family.
