Regional Hospice and Home Care of Western CT Announces "Gatsby Gala" Sponsorship Opportunities for June Event

DANBURY, CT – Regional Hospice and Home Care of Western CT is preparing for their second annual enchanted evening of dining, dancing and fun. This year’s theme, The Great Gatsby, has already attracted 32 early sponsors bringing them $115,000 closer to their $240,000 goal.  All proceeds will help support the Regional Hospice building fund of the state’s first and only private room hospice residence. The Regional Hospice Foundation reports that they have only $3.2 million more to raise to reach building cost of close to $11 million,  and gala committee members are counting on putting a $300,000 dent in that number with net proceeds from the event. Sponsorships are still available and the committee is still actively soliciting live and silent auction items from the community. The evening will culminate with the drawing of the winning ticket for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250. Tickets for the Mercedes raffle are being sold now. For information contact fsaraceno@regionalhospicect.org, 203.702.7435 or visit the web page at http://regionalhospicect.org/events/rhhc-gatsby-gala
