THANK YOU!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the many individuals and businesses that offered their support and time for the 18th annual Hike for Hospice fundraising initiative. This year, we achieved a new milestone by involving the most diverse teams ever, which helped raise greater awareness of the Sea to Sky Hospice Society’s programs and services within the Sea to Sky Community.

With 25 teams participating in a variety of activities—swimming, hiking, biking, golfing, dancing, and more, fundraising on behalf of the programs and services. Your support and compassion are truly appreciated. Thank you!
