BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The 38th annual Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo Spring Bouquet Sale starts Monday.
Lisa Nestico, event and volunteer coordinator, says the entire community has pitched in to help.
"Today we had about 50 volunteers prepping our bouquets that are going out to the 350 plus schools and businesses that are supporting us throughout Erie County," she said.
The money generated from the sale will support about 1,100 patients suffering from serious illness, and their caregivers, at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo.
"The importance of supporting our program and supporting our bouquet sales is to be able to provide dignity and quality care for our patients and families who are going through difficult times," Nestico added.
Local businesses and schools pre-purchase bouquets to make them readily available for anyone who would like to take part in the fundraiser.
The sale will run Monday through Friday. Standard Bouquets cost $14, and a Tribute Bouquet costs $35.
