Big Bend Hospice - Our Hometown Charity
 
Proctor Subaru was honored and privileged to select Big Bend Hospice as our Hometown Charity for the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event. Over the past seven years, Proctor Subaru has been able to donate over $68,000 to Big Bend Hospice through this annual event.

What is the Share the Love Event?

This annual event hosted by Subaru of America spans several weeks during the holiday season and gives back by donating $250 from the sale or lease of every new Subaru to national and local charities. Over the last 12 years, this event has raised over $175 million for national and local charities.

Proctor Subaru has selected Big Bend Hospice as the hometown charity of choice since the event was expanded to include local charities eight years ago.

In addition to the $250 donated to a selection of charities by Subaru of America, Proctor Subaru donated an extra $50 from the sale or lease of every new Subaru during the 2019 Share the Love Event to Big Bend Hospice.

More than end-of-life care:
Big Bend Hospice is best known for helping provide compassionate care during the final breaths of life, but they serve our community through many other services as well!
 
How have funds raised through the Subaru Share The Love Event been used in our community?
 
"These dollars are so critical to the health of this community, to the mission of hospice and particularly to all the unfunded and underfunded programs that we are engaged in locally."
- Dena Strickland, Big Bend Hospice President
Unfunded programs include

Providing music therapy to patients and families to help to bring them peace, particularly in their final moments of life.

Offering compassionate care to all in need, including homeless people in our community. Hospice does not turn anyone away regardless of ability to pay. In the Summer of 2019, Big Bend Hospice was able to provide care for five homeless individuals who could not afford care.

 
Underfunded programs include:

The Veterans Valor program. Through this program, Big Bend Hospice often pairs veterans with fellow veteran volunteers who can provide them both physical and emotional care while navigating a terminal illness. The Valor program also honors veterans by offering a hero's salute at funerals and memorializing veteran's service.
