May 29, 2024 (Jacksonville, Fla.) – The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care is pleased to announce that the recent Children are Rock Stars (C.A.R.S) benefit event, presented by Ring Power and held at The Brumos Collection, raised an impressive $328,000.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ring Power and the dedicated C.A.R.S. committee for their incredible effort and unwavering support, which were instrumental in making this event a success,” said Annie Tuttle, Executive Director of The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. “Their commitment to our cause and the generous contributions from our donors and sponsors have made a significant impact.”

The annual C.A.R.S. event directly benefits Community PedsCare®  in Jacksonville, the pediatric program of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, which offers support to children living with serious and life-limiting illnesses and their families. Additionally, it supports Every Child Counts in the Abaco Islands, an institution providing alternative education for children with learning, developmental, and physical disabilities. The funds will support unfunded programs and provide quality care to Jacksonville and Marsh Harbour children.
