Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice celebrated a record-breaking year Sept. 9 for its 19th annual Autumn Night Out benefit.
Held at the Poland Spring Resort, the dinner and auction hosted 300 guests and raised $140,000, according to a news release from Jillian Netherland, Development & Community Relations manager at Androscoggin Health Healthcare + Hospice.
With this year’s Emerald City theme and led by Emcee Erin Ovalle of Maine Life Media, guests followed the Yellow Brick Road for dinner, cocktails and a silent and live auction, while raising critical resources for Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice.
The evening concluded with a display of fireworks, compliments of Central Maine Pyrotechnics.
Proceeds from Autumn Night Out support end-of-life care for hospice patients and their families, ensuring compassionate and dignified care for all, without worry of financial hardship. This year’s fund-a-need paddle raise aided the work of Androscoggin’s Pediatrics Services and the impact it has on the youngest lives of those throughout area communities.
Among those in attendance were three of Androscoggin’s pediatric patient families, as well as 18 members of Androscoggin’s clinical pediatric team. This team cares for 325 pediatric patients throughout nine Maine counties.
