Elizabeth Hospice Golf Tournament Raises More Than $130,000 to Benefit Children’s Bereavement Program

The Elizabeth Hospice Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction on Friday, September 22, 2017 at Maderas Golf Club, in Poway, CA raised more than $130,000 to benefit The Elizabeth Hospice’s Children’s Bereavement Program. The program includes Camp Erin San Diego, a unique camp experience that combines traditional camp activities with grief-related exercises and emotional support; school-based grief support groups in 14 school districts along with training for school professionals; and children/caregiver grief support groups.
 
The Elizabeth Hospice provides the most comprehensive counseling and grief support services for all ages in the region. Services are available to the community-at-large, regardless of the type of illness or death experienced. A patient affiliation is not required.
 
“We appreciate the community’s support of children and teens who participate in our Children’s Bereavement Program who are impacted by grief and loss,” said Jan Jones, President and CEO of The Elizabeth Hospice. “Camp Erin and our other children’s bereavement services are a true gift for children who have experienced the loss of someone close to them. We provide these children an opportunity to explore and express feelings while memorializing the person who died.”
