Mugs for Maryah Raises Funds for Children's Hospice
February 16, 2017
Join members of the community as they come together to support local non-profit organization, Crescent Cove, on their journey to open the first residential children's hospice home in the Midwest.
Started last year, "Mugs for Maryah" began as a fundraiser for Maryah Tift, a student at Cretin-Derham Hall who passed away at the end of her junior year. Maryah's final wish was to have a place where kids and teens could "just be" when it was their time to pass. This stems from a large deficit in the number of children's hospice homes in the United States. All donations received will go to the foundation, Crescent Cove.
"We need a comfortable place where we can just BE - whether we are a kid, a mom, a dad, a sibling or a grandparent."
(Maryah Tift† alum of IHM-St. Luke's (St. Thomas More) and student at Cretin-Derham Hall)
The benefit will be held on Saturday, March 18 from 1-4p.m. at Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul. Please come out and support the cause.
