LightBridge Hospice Community Foundation

The LightBridge Hospice Community Foundation makes it possible for the gift of
Hospice to be shared with patients and families who do not otherwise have the
financial resources to afford Hospice care. Through generous gifts from donors,
the Foundation also provides community and professional educational and
outreach programs.

There are several opportunities for individuals, families and businesses to
support the mission of LightBridge Hospice Community Foundation. For more
information on special events, educational programs and community outreach,
please call the Foundation Office at 858-458-2992.

Testimonials

“You were patient, kind and caring. It was amazing to see what you did and
how you did it. Please accept this small gift as a token of our gratitude...”

“Enclosed please find a donation to LightBridge in memory of our Mother.
I cannot really express the extent of my deep respect and admiration for the
folks who comprise your service. Our Mother’s nurse, one of the most loving
and gentle souls I have ever met, made a profound difference in our Mother’s
last years, giving of herself emotionally as well as professionally far far
beyond what her job requires.”

“I am indeed grateful to the nursing staff for their superlative care during his
final hours...Please find enclosed a donation to be used where ever there is
need. It is simply a token of my profound gratitude for the care rendered
when our family needed it the most...”

family—the highest praise we can think of for hospice providers. We
hope you’ll accept the enclosed gift to further your wonderful work...”

Opportunities
for Giving

Memorial Giving Program

The Foundation gives donors
the opportunity to remember
individuals with a memorial
or honorary gift. Some families
prefer donations be made in
memory of their loved one in lieu
of flowers. When you list the
LightBridge Hospice Community
Foundation in the newspaper or
your church bulletin, please
contact us so that we may
provide remittance envelopes
for such gifts.

Matching Gifts Program

Matching Gifts Programs
can be a great benefit to the
Foundation. Many employers
offer an employee benefit by
making a matching contribution
to a non-profit organization of
the employee’s designation.
If such a program exists with
your employer, to start the
process, ask your employer
for a matching gift form, fill it
out, and enclose it with your
donation to LightBridge Hospice
Community Foundation.

Gifts of Time and Talent

The Foundation needs those
who can give of their talent and
time to support special events
that benefit the programs of the
Foundation. Consider sponsoring
a special event, or volunteering
your time to help create or
support an event or educational
program of interest to you. You
might also consider volunteering
time with Hospice patients and
their families through the
Volunteer Department at
LightBridge Hospice.
