Quarterly Events

Davidson County Caregiver Academy 

We are pleased to announce the 2026 Davidson County Caregiver Academy schedule.

Caregiving can be an overwhelming and unfamiliar role, and many individuals step into it with little preparation or support. As part of the Davidson County Caregiver Academy, community members are invited to attend quarterly lunch-and-learn sessions that offer practical education in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Each session focuses on a different topic and is designed to help caregivers become confident, capable, and compassionate in caring for a loved one. These free educational luncheons are led by community experts and are open to anyone providing care for a family member or friend.

To register for Davidson County Caregiver Academy offerings, please contact Davidson County Senior Services at 336-242-2290.

Advance Care Planning

While National Healthcare Decisions Month is observed each April—serving as an important time to encourage individuals and families to reflect on, discuss, and document their healthcare wishes—these conversations are valuable year-round.

Advance Care Planning is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your loved ones. By clearly communicating your values and preferences, you help reduce uncertainty during difficult moments and ensure your voice is honored, even if you are unable to speak for yourself.

Take the Next Step

We invite you to continue this important conversation within your own circles.

  • Request a presentation for your organization, faith community, or civic group
  • Learn more about advance care planning and available resources

Ride for Angels Motorcycle Ride

Annual Ride for Angels 

Our annual Ride for Angels Motorcycle Ride is a long-standing tradition that brings together riders, supporters, and community partners for a powerful day of purpose and remembrance. More than just a ride, this event honors the lives of those who have been served by our hospice programs while raising essential funds to support compassionate care for patients and families in our community.

Each year, participants gather in fellowship and unity, riding together to celebrate life, remember loved ones, and ensure that hospice services remain available to all who need them. The roar of engines carries a message of hope, support, and unwavering compassion.

We are especially excited as we look ahead to our 19th Annual Ride for Angels. This year will include some exciting updates — including a much-requested date change that we believe will make the experience even more enjoyable for our riders and supporters.

Stay tuned for full event details, registration information, and sponsorship opportunities. We look forward to riding alongside you as we continue this meaningful tradition.

Annual Professional Conference on Grief and Loss (October)

Our Annual Professional Conference on Grief and Loss is a meaningful gathering designed to equip, educate, and inspire professionals who walk alongside individuals and families experiencing grief. This conference brings together clinicians, counselors, social workers, healthcare professionals, educators, clergy, funeral directors and community leaders for a day of learning, reflection, and connection.

In addition to continuing education opportunities, the conference fosters collaboration and professional networking among those dedicated to compassionate care. It is part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening grief support services within our community and advancing excellence in care.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the conference date, featured presenter, registration details, and sponsorship opportunities. We look forward to sharing more soon.

National Hospice & Palliative Care Month (November)

Each November, we observe National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to recognize the compassionate care provided to individuals and families facing serious illness. This month offers an opportunity to raise awareness about the comfort, dignity, and holistic support that hospice and palliative care bring to patients and their loved ones during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Hospice and palliative care focus on enhancing quality of life — addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while honoring each individual’s goals and values. Through an interdisciplinary approach, our team walks alongside families with expertise, empathy, and unwavering compassion.

As part of this national observance, many faith communities also recognize Hospice Sabbath, a dedicated time to reflect on the sacredness of life, compassionate caregiving, and the importance of supporting those facing serious illness and loss. Hospice Sabbath provides a meaningful opportunity for congregations to lift up caregivers, remember loved ones, and learn more about end-of-life care resources available within the community.

During this special month, we encourage you to invite our team to present to your organization, civic group, or faith community — including participation in Hospice Sabbath observances, to do so, request materials, or learn more about our services, please contact our Marketing Manager, Ashley, at 336-474-2087.

Together, we can continue ensuring that comfort, dignity, and compassionate care are available to all who need them.

Giving Tuesday (Tuesday after Thanksgiving)

Celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that encourages individuals, families, and businesses to come together in support of causes that strengthen their communities.

For our organization, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to rally around the mission of compassionate hospice and palliative care. Every gift — no matter the size — helps ensure that patients and families facing serious illness receive comfort, dignity, and comprehensive support when they need it most. Contributions also help sustain grief services, community education, and specialized programs that extend care beyond the bedside.

Giving Tuesday is more than a fundraiser; it is a reminder that generosity has the power to transform lives. When our community gives together, we reinforce the message that no one walks this journey alone.

We look forward to sharing more about this imitative as we get closer to the end of the year.

Night of Reflection & Luminary Event (December)

Our Night of Reflection & Luminary Event is a meaningful evening dedicated to remembrance, hope, and community. As dusk settles, luminaries glow in honor and memory of loved ones, creating a peaceful space for reflection and connection.

This special gathering provides families and friends an opportunity to pause, remember, and celebrate the lives that have touched their hearts. Through music, shared moments of silence, and spoken tributes, we honor the enduring impact of those we hold dear while offering comfort and support to one another.

The Night of Reflection is open to the community and serves as a beautiful reminder that even in loss, light continues to shine.

We look forward to sharing more details about this year’s event — including participation opportunities, sponsorship information, and ways to dedicate a luminary — as we get closer to the date. We hope you will plan to join us for this meaningful evening of remembrance and unity.
