May 4, 2023 (Jacksonville, Fla.) – On April 26, 2023, the Community Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation received a generous contribution of $60,000 from the Rotary Club of Riverside Jacksonville. The check presentation was held at the Florida Yacht Club to donate funds raised at the ninth annual Riverside Craft Beer Festival.

At the festival, guests enjoyed over 100 craft beers from local, regional, and national breweries, live music, and food trucks. The event benefits Community PēdsCare®, a nationally recognized Community Hospice & Palliative Care program that provides comfort, care, and support for children with life-threatening conditions.
