“Show your children the true meaning of Christmas by supporting pediatric hospice and enjoying family time together at the premiere of JUMANJI: The Next Level
~ Chris & Lisa Van Allsburg

AN EXCLUSIVE STATEWIDE MOVIE SCREENING

Taking fundraising to the Next Level!

December 8 – 11 was an exciting whirlwind of fundraising activity!
 
Over the course of these 4-days, we hosted nearly 1,500 guests in four cities across the state at special screenings of the blockbuster holiday movie Jumanji: The Next Level.
 
By the time the final credits rolled at our last screening, a total of $265,000 was raised to support Open Access and the Jo Elyn Nyman Anchors Programs for Children at Hospice of Michigan and Arbor Hospice.
 
If you didn’t have the opportunity to attend a screening, please take a moment to watch these powerful videos that remind us how donor support helps us continue to deliver our mission.

Dating back to the highly successful movie premieres of The Polar Express in 2004 and Zathura in 2005 – which raised more than $1.5 M for end-of-life pediatric care –  Mr. Van Allsburg, has generously shared his talents to benefit our community’s youngest residents. This statewide fundraising event is yet another example of his continued commitment to shine a light on the important care provided to terminally and chronically ill pediatric patients and their families within the Anchors Programs for Children.
