The mission of Halifax Health - Hospice of Volusia/Flagler is to provide extraordinary
and dignified comfort and compassion to every person and family facing end of life.
Halifax Health - Hospice is a respected leader in end-of-life care and compassionate medical
service. Today Halifax Health - Hospice has grown from an average daily census of 35 in 1986
to more than 600 patients cared for by over 400 full-time professional employees and more
than 800 volunteers. Patients are cared for in their homes, nursing homes, assisted living
facilities, hospitals and in our inpatient care center in Port Orange, Orange City and Edgewater.
To date, we have helped more than 67,000 patients.

When people die they leave behind loved ones, and often times they leave behind young loved
ones who may not understand death. Every child deserves the chance to grieve. Children are
often thought to be too young to understand and cope with their grief. However, if given the
proper support and understanding, children have the natural capacity to grieve and heal.
The Lawrence E. Whelan BeginAgain Children’s Grief Centers provide this crucial support and
understanding to children and families in Volusia and Flagler counties who have experienced the
death of a loved one. Through physical activity, art, drama, music, and other activities, children
ages 4–18 can share their feelings in a safe and child-friendly environment. In addition, they
have the chance to bond with other grieving children and, as a result, discover they are not alone.
Like many of the programs provided by Halifax Health - Hospice, The Lawrence E. Whelan
BeginAgain Children’s Grief Center is not funded by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance.
Halifax Health - Hospice’s 4th Annual Rubber Duck Race provides much needed funds while
increasing awareness for this wonderful program.
Our goal for this fundraiser is to underwrite all of our event expenses with cash and in-kind
contributions. Our Sponsorship funding offsets the expense of holding the Rubber Duck Race
so we can give more to benefit The Lawrence E. Whelan BeginAgain Children’s Grief Centers.
When you sponsor the 4th Annual Rubber Duck Race, your company will make a difference for
many of our patients’ family members, friends and loved ones. By sponsoring this event you will
show your company’s support of Halifax Health - Hospice and the children receiving supportive
services through the Children’s Grief Centers.
We are pleased to offer the following Sponsorship Benefits for the 4th Annual Rubber Duck Race.
We do accept in-kind donations of products, which will be categorized at full retail value.
