Evening Under the Stars  

Thanks to the Needham Area Community Cabinet, the 2022 Evening Under the Stars benefit was an impactful and memorable evening! Guests joined us at the MIT Endicott House to thank and celebrate VNA Care’s dedicated healthcare professionals. Because of the generosity of event sponsors and attendees, over $56,000 was raised in support of VNA Care’s home health and hospice programs.

The evening was filled with a wonderful silent auction, music, a truly touching tribute to VNA Care’s hospice care and our Fund the Need program, led by co-chairs Louise Condon and Ellison Patten, which inspired so many to give of themselves and make a difference.

During the event, Katey Ivatts, RN, a hospice nurse at VNA Care, shared, “When I go into someone’s home, I’m caring for my patient and their loved ones during the hardest, most fragile time in their life. To be able to provide care, and ease the transition to a peaceful death, to support and prepare the family and caregivers is an honor I never take for granted.”

For more information about supporting VNA Care, please contact Laura Wise at 617-886-6460.
