45th Anniversary Gala

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available offering individuals and businesses a chance to show their support while enjoying a night to remember.

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, the community is invited to gather for an elegant evening at the Fountains Wedding & Conference Center, located at 1800 Sweetbay Drive in Salisbury, MD, to commemorate more than four decades of dedicated service on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore.

The theme, “A Legacy of Care, Built on 45 Years of Experience,” reflects the profound impact Coastal Hospice has made since its founding, and the enduring commitment to compassionate end-of-life care across Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.

The gala promises an unforgettable experience filled with heartfelt tributes and vibrant celebration. Guests will enjoy a lavish buffet dinner, open bar, and the opportunity to bid on exclusive items during a silent auction. The evening will also include special recognition of individuals and partners who have made significant contributions to the organization’s mission.

To top off the celebration, live music by the high-energy band, On the Edge, will keep the dance floor alive well into the evening, creating a joyful atmosphere to honor Coastal Hospice’s remarkable journey.

Reaching 45 years is not only a testament to the care we provide but also to the strength and support of our community. This event is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has helped us build this legacy—staff, volunteers, donors, board members, and the families we’ve had the honor to serve.

As Coastal Hospice looks to the future, this gala serves as both a reflection of its storied past and a recommitment to its mission: to provide expert, compassionate care to individuals and families facing life-limiting illness.

The evening’s proceeds will benefit Coastal Hospice’s Charity Care.
