At Tillery Compassionate Care, our mission is to spark inspiration, hope, and peace, enabling individuals with serious illnesses to embrace their spirit of life. Every day, we are reminded of the power of this work through the stories families share with us. These moments of comfort, dignity, and peace are at the heart of our mission, and they are only possible because of your support.

One family recently shared their gratitude for the care they received:
“We are so grateful and blessed for the loving care and kindness shown to our mom and us. Many times, you gave her comfort so tenderly. In every whisper, in every touch, in
every prayer, and every tear.  You all gave your best, and words cannot describe the blessings shown to us.”

It is stories like this that inspire us to keep going. As a locally governed nonprofit, our development team works to build community relationships and secure the funding necessary to ensure that no one is ever turned away from the hospice care they need. The proceeds from this event will directly benefit the quality, compassionate care that Tillery Compassionate Care provides for those facing serious illness in the community.

Tournament sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Sandy at ssmullis@tillerycompassionatecare.org or 704-983-4216 ext. 114.
