The Ambassadors Club at Kings Mountain High School recently raised $1,907 for Hospice patients. Hospice Cleveland County serves patients in Cleveland, Gaston, and Lincoln counties. While most Hospice patients are served in their homes, Wendover Hospice House in Shelby and Testa Family Hospice House in Kings Mountain provide 22 patient rooms for patients unable to stay at home. The club held a faculty/staff basketball game and charged admission to raise the funds. The club's advisors, Liza Dellinger and Lauren Gibson, helped with the event.
Pam Sharts Isaacs, Director of Marketing & Public Relations, attended the game and talked to students about Hospice and the importance of fundraisers and the role the community plays in helping Hospice. "We are delighted to receive this gift," said Isaacs. "This will enable us to better provide excellent care for patients and their families. We are also pleased to see the community service The Ambassadors Club is providing."
Hospice Cleveland County exists to provide high quality skilled compassionate care and support for individuals with life-limiting illness, their families, and the community, regardless of ability to pay.
