St. Charles Foundation’s annual Prineville Hospice Auction was a big success, raising more than $180,000 to support hospice programs. The festive event was held at the Crook County Fairgrounds Indoor Area last week with a fun live auction of handmade quilts and Christmas trees as well as dinner, raffle and more.

“This festive, fun and impactful event raised funds to help give St. Charles flexibility and resources to continually raise the bar for world-class hospice care for everyone east of the Cascades,” said Jenny O’Bryan, executive director for St. Charles Foundation.

This year’s People’s Choice Quilt was River’s Edge, donated by Terri Waetjen, and the People’s Choice Tree was Believe … In Holiday Magic donated by Juliane Reed and Jeri Garner in memory of Patty McGuire and her joyful spirit.

The Prineville Hospice Auction was sponsored by Central Oregon Radiology Associations and Mid Oregon Credit Union.
