Walkers, hikers and runners took to the trails of Roth Park Sunday in support of the 11th Annual Hike for Hospice. The annual fundraiser, in support of VON Oxford's Sakura House, set their goal at $80,000 for this year. At the event, organizers announced they had raised $93,094 but the funds didn't stop there. On the John & Liz Morning Show Monday, Fund Development Coordinator, Kyra McNamara announced that after all was said and done Sunday, they had reached $95,265. McNamara says they expect additional donations to trickle in over the next few days which will boost the total even higher. According to McNamara, the funds from the Hike for Hospice are used towards Sakura House's Annual Operations. "We still have two fundraising campaigns. Our Capital Campaign; that's to pay down the cost of converting that residential home into the hospice and that money is kind of a separate fundraising stream. This money goes towards the Annual Operations; all of the other costs associated with literally keeping the doors open, keeping the heat on, keeping the lights on, some supplies and even some of our secondary staffing, we have to fundraise for".
