In addition to selling tickets for the event, NOHS has launched a 50/50 raffle to contribute to its services.

“This event is about community, compassion, and celebrating local talent—all while supporting hospice care right here at home,” Megan Cox, Executive Director of NOHS, said.

“Every ticket and 50/50 ticket sold means more hands-on care, grief support, and dignity for families facing end-of-life challenges.”

NOHS said the 50/50 jackpot could reach a total of $50,000, with the winner taking home half the pot.
