ASHLAND – The most recent Linda Horning charity outing generated $4,000.00, which will be donated to Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) to support end-of-life care.
Reflections Salon & Spa owner Amy Forrest established a charity golf outing in memory of former owner Linda Horning in 2004 as a business team building event. Proceeds from the event are directed to a local nonprofit organization.
“So many of our families have experienced the compassionate care provided by HNCO that the idea of supporting their special mission resonated with everyone associated with this outing," Forrest said. "Many hands go into the planning and implementation of a charity golf outing. We are thankful for our many sponsors, participants and volunteers.”
Ralph Tomassi, HNCO chief development officer/senior administrator, said, “this gift not only perpetuates the memory of a former employee and friend, but also will have an immediate impact on the quality of compassionate care delivered daily by our team of caregivers. We are indeed grateful for the support we receive from the communities we serve.”
