United Hospice of Rockland (UHR) could really use some HUGS!

November is National Hospice Month so once again United Hospice of Rockland will be recognizing this very special month by holding our annual“Hugs for Hospice” campaign. If you are interested in supporting“Hugs for Hospice” campaign by displaying adorable bear cards in your business for the month of November, please contact MJ Bray at 845.634.4974 or mbray@hospiceofrockland.org. UHR will provide you with all the materials, instructions and information about the “Hugs for Hospice” campaign that you will need.  

There is absolutely NO COST to businesses for being a HUGS HOST! Each $1.00 donation is another “Hug for Hospice” - an inexpensive way for individuals to honor a friend or loved one. All the money raised helps fund programs for Rockland County residents! 

In 2012 local businesses, with help from their generous customers were able to raise over $10,000!  In return for their support, these businesses were featured alongside UHR in county newspapers, highlighted on the UHR Facebook page, website and listed in the Hospice newsletter which is distributed to more than 12,000 area residents. Please help UHR help others by giving us some HUGS!
