Greetings!

A Heartfelt Thank You

On behalf of Foothills Compassionate Care, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to all who attended, volunteered, and worked tirelessly to make our Moonlight Magic gala such a meaningful success. Your generosity and commitment to our mission shine brightly through events like this, and we are truly humbled by your support.

Because of you, we are able to continue fulfilling our mission: With expertise, quality, and compassion, we empower and guide individuals and families to prepare for and navigate life’s challenging chapters.

Your past, present and ongoing partnership ensures that this vital work continues—even as we navigate our own challenging chapters with new and evolving regulatory reviews that test our resilience and strength as an organization. 

Thank you for standing with us, for believing in compassionate care, and for helping us sustain the work that touches so many lives in our community.



It was an amazing night filled with amazing humans and a fantastic way to kick off National Hospice and Palliative month.
