A YEAR OF GREAT EVENTS!

In 2025, Hospice of Michigan and Arbor Hospice’s signature fundraising event returns for its final year: Barley, BBQ, & Beats will take place in five cities across the state of Michigan. These unique celebrations showcase barbecue from leading pit masters, hand-crafted cocktails from select Michigan distilleries and live music from hometown favorites.

Last year more than $845,000 was raised to support Hospice of Michigan and Arbor Hospice’s Open Access fund which ensures that all patients receive the comprehensive and compassionate end of life care they need regardless of age, diagnosis or financial circumstances. 

Thank you to everyone who attended–you helped make these fundraising events a resounding success!
