Senior Care advocates Celebrated together for the first time in two years at nonprofit Tabitha’s major fundraiser, Signature Event, at the Country Club of Lincoln on Nov. 11.
An event like none before, Alan Crist, Lincoln Fire & Rescue Pipe and Drum bagpiper, poignantly kicked off the festivities with tunes to honor Veterans Day. The evening included heartwarming testimonials from families and Volunteers impacted by Tabitha, woven together with the music of another Nebraska original, Hannah Huston from Season 10 of “The Voice.”
Stories spanned the breadth of Tabitha’s services, from home health and hospice to innovative senior living to Tabitha Meals on Wheels. Each storyteller shared how Tabitha supported their unique needs.
The Commitment to support Seniors for generations was strong, as guests raised more than $280,000 to ensure Nebraska Seniors receive the exceptional Care they need and deserve.
To conclude the event, Tabitha President & CEO Christie Hinrichs reported on future growth plans which include new senior living community, Tabitha at Prairie Commons in Grand Island, slated to open in late 2022, as well as the the proposed InterGenerational Living Community at Tabitha’s main Lincoln campus. Hinrichs also shared her own story with a special tribute to her dad, Larry.
“It’s a gift to spend every day working and witnessing the impact Tabitha TEAMember have on so many lives,” she shared. “Your dedication to supporting Seniors through Tabitha bolsters our ability to dream—dreams inspired by listening to the words of the wise ones, for only those who’ve lived can best tell us what’s missing to ensure each of us live joyfully and age gratefully.”
