Teens Make A Difference Supporting Hospice

United Hospice of Rockland's Youth For Hospice (YFH) raised $350 at a car wash and bake sale at the Hospice Center in New City.  

The funds raised will benefit UHR.

Youth For Hospice, founded by several Clarkstown High School North students three years ago when they were sophomores, is a group of teens who first met to plan a Dance-A-Thon to benefit UHR.  After that success, the YFH teens have become involved in working with hospice in both fund-raising and non-fundraising activities.

Currently the group has more than 60 members, has elected new officers, and is open to all Rockland County teens.  For more information, contact Lisa Denburg, 845 634-4974, ldenburg@hospiceofrockland.org, www.hospiceofrockland.org <http://www.hospiceofrockland.org> , or follow Youth for Hospice on Facebook.
