Exceptional staff are stewards of our foundation’s mission and purpose.
Top quality, end of life care for every patient, regardless of ability to pay.

The 20th Annual “Light the Night” Gala Auction to benefit Whatcom Hospice will be held Saturday, November 14, 2020. This year due to COVID-19 social distancing recommendations we are planning to hold the auction in a virtual format but are ready to pivot to an in-person event if permitted by our state and local governments.
The virtual event will feature both live and silent auctions. Registration is free, or upgrade to a Party In Place Package – details coming soon!
On Saturday, November 14th you will be able to watch the live auction broadcast on either Facebook or You Tube. Our energetic auctioneer John Curley is sure to keep it fast paced and highly entertaining! All live and silent auction bidding will be done via our mobile bidding platform – so you can bid right from your smartphone, tablet or computer.
