Beckley, WV (WOAY) A longtime summer tradition in southern West Virginia is coming to an end for Hospice of Southern West Virginia.
The organization’s Board of Directors has made the decision to step away as the primary beneficiary and organizer of the Friends of Charity Auto Fair.
Hospice says the decision follows careful consideration of the time, financial commitment, and resources needed to put on the annual event.
The organization took over the Auto Fair in 2015, and since then, the fundraiser has brought together car enthusiasts, businesses, volunteers, and families while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support hospice care.
CEO Janett Green says the event’s success would not have been possible without the community’s support, including its steering committee, sponsors, volunteers, Brian’s Safehouse, and Raleigh County Memorial Airport.
While Hospice is stepping away from the event, Green says the organization looks back on its years of involvement with gratitude, recognizing the lasting friendships and community partnerships built along the way.
