The third Circle of Caring Award Dinner will take place on Wednesday, November 5th at the Lerner Theater. This year we will posthumously honor Cindy Hawkins in recognition of her lifelong service and commitment to her community.
Cindy cherished her family and community and had a strong passion for working with youth. Having friends and family in the home was a true blessing for her. While battling cancer, she would regularly reach out to many of her “people” just to make sure they knew they were loved. Her commitment to giving back to her community through supporting family and youth-focused programs strongly align with Center for Hospice Care’s mission to improve the quality of living.
