9th Annual Turkey Trot Raises Funds for State of the Heart Hospice
When asked why State of the Heart was chosen as the benefactor of this event, Susie Fortkamp, organizer of the event stated, “Unfortunately, most people at some point in their lives will have some sort of involvement with hospice care-whether it is through a sick family member, friend or neighbor. Hospice touches so many lives by being there for families in the time of need.”
“We are very appreciative of not only the donation to our cause, but of the hard work and coordination the staff at Coopers puts into organizing this event each year,” stated Erica Wentworth, Business Development Specialist for State of the Heart Hospice. State of the Heart is a nonprofit agency that cares for patients and families in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life limiting illness. The agency is nonprofit and never turns away patients due to the inability to pay. Fundraisers like the Turkey Trot help the agency carry out their mission. Susie also shared, “I am extremely proud to be a part of the Turkey Trot for the past 9 years. This event focuses on families and having fun while completing the trot.”
