It’s important to give back, to take care of the people who take care of us and those we love. That’s why Hospice Calgary is Simply Elegant’s charity of choice. The mandate of Hospice Calgary is to provide the best in end of life care, an overwhelming time in the life of any family.

Hike for Hospice Calgary 2010 was a joyous event, comprised of almost 400 people who raised $60,000 – well over the target they’d set for themselves. Team Simply Elegant raised $4664.00, with help from our clients, families and friends. In fact, we had 18 walkers in our team and, not that we’re bragging, but we did win the Team Spirit Award.

Perhaps it had something to do with these two crazy characters, Sharon Barwick, our Events, Weddings and Client manager, and her sister, Carol Barwick, a chaplain at Rosedale Hospice.

That’s just how they roll.

Or Dwayne and Kelly.

Or Shelley and Sid, who put a twist on the event by Sitting for Hospice Calgary.

To the whole Simply Elegant Team, our walkers and supporters  who made our contribution possible, thank you. To the residents and families, we want you to know you are in our hearts. And to the dedicated staff at Hospice Calgary, we are grateful to you for the work you do every day.
