Labor Day Auction Raises More Than $1.1 Million for Patient and Family Care

Thank you to our incredible Presenting Sponsor, Rodgers & Associates, and every sponsor, local business, dedicated volunteer and generous auction-goer who made this year’s Labor Day Auction a success! Because of your unwavering support, we raised an astounding $1,130,000 — a new record! Every dollar will go directly to providing essential hospice and palliative care and bereavement support to the thousands of patients and families served by Hospice & Community Care.

The Auction was electric, with intense bidding on various items, from original artwork by Suk Shuglie to a signed photograph of Willie Mays and everything in between—from handmade quilts to used cars and even an Amish buggy! The food was another highlight, bringing in a record-breaking $121,000, thanks to our generous Amish friends who donated their time and talents to prepare all the meals fresh on-site.

With the incredible backing of this community, we can continue our mission of providing personalized care and comfort to help patients and families live better with serious illness through end of life. Thank you for making a lasting impact!

Next year’s Labor Day Auction will be held on Saturday, August 30 and Monday, September 1, 2025 at the Solanco Fairgrounds in Quarryville.
