Agrace: To hold ‘Giving Day’ April 2

MADISON, Wis. – The hardest days in life are often when someone you love is seriously ill, dying or grieving. In southern Wisconsin, you don’t have to face those days alone; you can turn to Agrace for support.

Agrace, the Wisconsin-based nonprofit health care organization, is well-known for its 45+ years of experience providing hospice care and palliative care services. People also rely on Agrace after the death of a loved one, through donor-funded grief support programs that are open to everyone in the community, including families of people who died without having hospice care.

To ensure it can continue to offer all area residents access to this quality care and support, the nonprofit is holding Agrace Giving Day on April 2. In addition to community grief support, Giving Day donations will also help fund specialized clinical staff training, the Agrace Wish program and more.

“Giving Day is about neighbors helping neighbors. We know that not everyone has access to expert medical care, personalized support and compassionate guidance when they’re facing a life-limiting illness—but they should,” said Beth Larson, chief development officer. “On Giving Day, your gift will help people in your community receive the Agrace services they need—even if they cannot pay.”

Agrace Giving Day will begin at midnight Wednesday, April 2, and run through 11:59 p.m. This 24-hour giving challenge invites donors, community partners and volunteers who believe in Agrace’s quality care and support to make a gift of any size.

To participate, visit Agrace.org/DonateToday or follow Agrace on Facebook or Instagram to see what’s possible when the community works together. Gifts can also be made over the phone by calling (608) 327-7180 or mailing a check payable to “Agrace Foundation” to Agrace Foundation, 5395 E. Cheryl Parkway, Madison, WI 53711.
