The 39th Annual Our Hospice Summer Concert brought over 1200 attendees together at the Circle K Fieldhouse at NexusPark for a community gathering of music, celebration, and a great cause: Making Every Moment Count to support patient care and their loved ones.

With the support of concertgoers, raffle participants, sponsors, and benefactors, the event raised $71,000 to benefit Our Hospice programs and services.

The evening featured Captain Fantastic: The Music of Elton John & Billy Joel followed by The Eagles Project, filling the Fieldhouse with timeless songs and energy that had the crowd singing along.

“The generosity and support from our community is a real blessing,” said Steph Cain, President of Our Hospice. “Every ticket purchased, raffle entry, sponsorship and benefactor gift, Makes Every Moment Count for patients and their loved ones. We are grateful to Brian King and Tom Dowd, owners of Dunlap General and Mechanical Contractors for being our 2025 Corporate Partners, and Columbus Regional Health, our Partner Sponsor.”

“We have ambitious goals ahead as we look toward our 40th anniversary next year. We are expanding our services, training more volunteers, and working to ensure that quality hospice care reaches every corner of our community. This event brings us closer to that vision,” said Steph Cain.

“This year’s $10,000 raffle sold over 3,700 tickets, building excitement throughout the night before the grand prize drawing where Jamison Meyer won the grand prize. Additional winners included Mary Palmer ($500), Gail Guynn ($250), Angela Stewart ($150), and Lisa Owen ($100),” added Terry Frederiksen, Manager of Resource Development.

Funds raised from the concert directly support the mission of Our Hospice to Make Every Moment Count by providing hospice care, bereavement services, and palliative care for patients and families across South Central Indiana.
