Hospice Gran Fondo

What is a Gran Fondo? A Gran Fondo is a type of ride that originated in Italy and translates to Big Ride. Known as a party on wheels, Gran Fondos offer food and refreshments along the route and are followed by huge post-race parties. The Hospice Gran Fondo offers all that and more! Several of the refreshment stops are at Niagara Wine Trail wineries. The wineries also offer tastings and sell wine by the bottle at the post-race party. The post-race party features live music, draft beer, wine tastings, fruit, water, and more! The Hospice Gran Fondo offers riders the opportunity to ride along some of the most beautiful bike routes Western New York has to offer. Riders can choose routes of 62 miles (100 km), 30 miles or 15 miles.

Spring Bouquet Sale

Held annually in March right before the official beginning of spring, the Spring Bouquet Sale enlists the help of churches, businesses, schools and organizations throughout Niagara County to help sell beautiful, fresh bouquets of flowers. This event relies heavily on volunteers and our community partners to be successful. Become a pre-sale coordinator, a walk-up sale location, or help deliver during the week of the sale. If you are interested in helping with the sale, call 280-0766.

We have partnered with Flower Power Fundraising with a contact free fundraiser. Their spring program offers some of the best quality spring planting bulbs, seeds and berries.

Order directly from our personalized online fundraising site and your order will ship directly to your home for a flat rate of six dollars no matter how large the order. They ship anywhere within the continental U.S., so make sure to share the link with your friends and family near and far. The online store will be open until May 15!

Jack Beatty Memorial Cruise and Clambake

The Jack Beatty Memorial Cruise and Clambake is held every summer at the Youngstown Yacht Club. Local skippers generously donate their boats to take you on a leisurely cruise up the Niagara River. Enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and live music while you're on the water. After the cruise, return to the beautiful Youngstown Yacht Club for a fabulous clambake dinner and live entertainment. For more information, visit NiagaraHospiceRegatta.com.

The Mighty Niagara Half Marathon was first introduced by event chairman Paul Beatty, Jr. in the fall of 2011 as the Hospice Dash Half Marathon. The event was such a huge success that Niagara Hospice decided to promote the race on a national level and make it a premier annual event. The tee has gone to great lengths to make sure that this is the one race you will want to mark on your calendar year after year.

This race offers it all: a pre-race concert, live music along the route, historic sites, beautiful views of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, post-race celebration, high-quality racing t-shirts, custom-made race medals to commemorate your great achievement, great food, and so much more! So, are YOU mighty?

Cocktails and CA$H is presented by the Niagara Hospice board of directors and is highlighted on the calendars of regular guests every year (usually occurring in October), each wondering if they will be the holder of the ticket for the grand prize of $5,000. This event has changed venues, themes and caterers, but the constant has always been the people of this community giving generously to support the compassionate care of Niagara Hospice. Tickets are $100 that include dinner for two catered by Donna Eick, drinks and one entry to win one of 13 cash prizes of up to $5,000. The event also includes a basket raffle, 50/50 split, silent auction, a diamond raffle and the Wheel of Prizes.
