(STUART, Fla. Feb. 10, 2025) – The Founding Friends of Treasure Coast Hospice (FFOTCH) welcomed guests to a magnificently decorated “jungle” at its Safari Nights fundraising gala, held on January 11, at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club in Palm City. The sold-out event raised $198,000 to support Treasure Coast Hospice’s Youth and Family Grief Support Programs.
Surrounded by the sounds of the jungle and exotic animal décor, nearly 200 attendees enjoyed an evening of glamour and adventure. A fabulous dinner, entertainment and a spirited auction created an unforgettable night designed to raise awareness and funds to support comprehensive grief counseling programs for children and families in the community.
            "Treasure Coast Hospice is deeply grateful to the Founding Friends for their continued support of our Youth and Family Grief Support Programs,” said Foundation Director Agnes Palmer, CFRE. “The success of Safari Nights is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the incredible volunteers who are dedicated to ensuring resources that provide comfort, hope and healing are available to those who are grieving in our community.”
Treasure Coast Hospice’s Youth and Family Grief Support Programs help children and teens overcome the challenges of grief to find healing, assist families through grief counseling, and enable the Treasure Coast Hospice Crisis Response Team to support communities, businesses and schools when tragedies occur. 
The FFOTCH have supported the Treasure Coast Hospice mission to provide access to compassionate, caring, expert and professional hospice and grief support services to patients and families at the end of life since 1982. The 200-plus members of the volunteer group have raised nearly $5,000,000 to support the organization.
