As we travel on this road called life, we would like to introduce you to our Cheers to Charities benefactor for the month of June, Palliative & Supportive Care on Nantucket (PASCON). The mission of PASCON is a specialized health care program dedicated to providing excellent physical, psychological, social, and spiritual care for persons with life-threatening illness and their families. The PASCON Foundation is dedicated to funding all of PASCON’s programs and services so that they may be provided free to the community without insurance reimbursement and to educating the community and raising awareness about palliative and supportive care issues.

Ever feel like you miss out on the hippest charity events of the summer season because you are so busy working? Want to know a quick + easy way to give back to the community of Nantucket without adding another committee meeting to your list? Donating to the causes you care about shouldn’t be hard or stressful. Whether donating time, money or knowledge, the process should be engaging and exhilarating. This not only benefits the charities themselves, but it can also be deeply rewarding for you too! This is the concept behind our Cheers to Charities program that we initiated in 2018.

Simple, sustainable and savvy! Want to learn more about the exciting First Thursday Giving events that were hosted by Épernay Wine & Spirits in 2018? ...Read More >
