Life, at every stage, is about the journey. And there is nothing more important to the Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg than ensuring residents throughout the community and their families are cared for with love and dignity as they approach the end of life.
On Jan. 24, Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg, commonly referred to as the Hospice House of Williamsburg, celebrated its 26th Annual Savor the Journey benefit dinner, and announced recently that the signature event helped fundraise $117,000 for the mission.
The event, which brought together 260 guests at the Kingsmill Resort, included a five-course dinner paired with wine from the Williamsburg Winery and courses expertly prepared by six of the most talented chefs in the world on one menu.
Pianist Cathy Combs and The Smith-Wade Band provided the musical backdrop.
Chef Travis Brust of Williamsburg Inn set the culinary mood with a champagne reception including bourbon smoked brisket with bacon butter, and an impeccable charcuterie plate.
The first course was a display of Chef Uwe Schluszas of Kingsmill’s talent with a forest mushroom consommé and wild boar sausage.
Next, generous diners experienced exquisite Surryano ham dusted diver scallops with winter succotash prepared by Waypoint Seafood and Grill’s Chef Hans Schadler.
A refreshing third course came courtesy of Chef Daniel Abid of La Yaca who served a composed vegetable salad with a rich, truffle vinaigrette.
The main event showcased the prowess of Fat Canary’s Chef Tom Power consisting of guinea hen with parmesan gnocchi with vegetables and a mushroom duxelles.
Rounding out the stellar feast was milk and cookies baked by Chef David Everett of The Blue Talon/Dog Street Pub/Blackbird Bakery/Trellis/Hair of the Dog Bottle Shop.
Funds raised at this this one evening alone helped secure roughly 10 percent of the Hospice House’s annual operating budget.
For 24 years, the Hospice House of Williamsburg has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of living for those facing the last phases of life and supporting those who love them.
Hospice House never bills patients for any of its services and is funded 100 percent by community donations. It operates 365 days a year thanks to more than 400 volunteers.
