2010 Partners in Hope Award

The Mourning Hope Board is proud to annually thank an organization or business that has made a significant impact on Mourning Hope. We affectionately call this award: "Partners in Hope." Although we owe our gratitude to so many people in our community, this year we wanted to publicly recognize HoriSun Hospice as our award recipient.

HoriSun Hospice consists of a team of committed and specially trained healthcare professionals providing expertise on living life to the fullest with dignity and comfort. The HoriSun Hospice team collaborates and implements a plan that provides the optimum in end of life services. Throughout the last several years, HoriSun has partnered with Mourning Hope to bring in a national speaker on grief-related issues, most recently bringing Harold Ivan Smith to Lincoln. And while the financial investment they have made in the Center has been amazing, the dedication of the staff at HoriSun has been equally astounding and we thank them for the wonderful partnership that has been built over the years. It is with great pleasure that Mourning Hope announces HoriSun Hospice as our 2010 Partners in Hope award winner.

2009 Partners in Hope

In February 2009, Mourning Hope's first "Partners in
Hope" award was presented to Swanson Russell, a local
advertising and public relations firm, which has donated
tens of thousands of dollars in services during the past two
years. Since 2007, when they first started working with us,
the agency has invested over 500 hours in various projects,
meetings, and marketing-related activities. At an average
billable rate of $100 per hour, this results in over $50,000 of
donated resources.

While this financial contribution has been amazing,
Swanson Russell transcends mere monetary contributions.
Their endless dedication and hard work to support
Mourning Hope's vision makes us forever indebted. Thank
you to Dave Hansen and the entire Swanson Russell team.
Receiving this type of work from a national agency that
offers knowledge and expertise from nearly 50 years in the
business is a true blessing for Mourning Hope.
