Members of the Saint Simons Food & Spirits Festival Board recently presented a check to Hospice of the Golden Isles (HGI) in the amount of $17,000, representing the total proceeds raised from the 2015 festival. “Hospice of the Golden Isles is deeply grateful to everyone involved with the Saint Simons Food & Spirits Festival for their efforts to benefit our non-profit agency,” said Karen Brubaker, HGI CEO. “Our hospice has served this community for 35 years, and we rely on the generosity of our donors to continue to deliver expert, compassionate care to all in need, regardless of ability to pay. In 2014, the funds received from the Festival paid for one of our new residential patient rooms in our Hospice House. In 2015, the Festival’s donation helped cover uncompensated care for some of our most vulnerable patients. We truly appreciate the Festival Team’s faithful support of our Hospice.” The festival will return October 5-9 in 2016.
