Hog Town Inc. donates $5.5K to United Hospice Service following charity run

MARLETTE — Members of Hog Town Inc. recently presented a $5,500 donation to United Hospice Service of Aspire Rural Health System following the organization’s 21st annual Hog Town Run.

The charity ride, held Aug. 8, drew motorcyclists from across Michigan to raise funds for end-of-life care. With this year’s contribution, Hog Town Inc. has donated more than $230,000 to the hospice program since the event’s inception.

Proceeds from the annual run directly support United Hospice Service in providing compassionate care to terminally ill patients and their families throughout Sanilac, Lapeer, Huron, Tuscola and St. Clair counties.

“United Hospice Service extends its sincere gratitude to Hog Town Inc. for its steadfast commitment and generosity, as well as to the many riders and community members who supported this year’s event,” said officials with Aspire Rural Health System.

As a nonprofit organization, United Hospice Service relies on community contributions and local events like the Hog Town Run to sustain its patient care programs across the Thumb region.
