According to Each Moment Matters Luncheon Co-Chairs Katherine Wyker and Katie Townend Doherty,
“In its 15th year, the Each Moment Matters Luncheon marks a significant milestone in providing dignified and compassionate end-of-life care. With over three million raised since its inception, the luncheon’s proceeds have facilitated Faith Presbyterian Hospice (FPH) in serving over 3,000 individuals across a 50-mile radius and 13 counties from the T. Boone Pickens Hospice Center.
“Every contribution to the Each Moment Matters Luncheon plays a crucial role in ensuring that Each Moment Matters for those facing end-of-life challenges. Luncheon proceeds support care for unfunded patients and enable special programming and clinical services known as the ‘Faith Difference.’ Completely community-funded, the ‘Faith Difference’ helps that end-of-life transition become less about loss and more about comfort, enrichment, love and celebration. This is a unique opportunity to help loved ones and individuals you may never meet.
“Navigating life’s final passage is a profound experience for individuals and families. Whether in the home or at the T. Boone Pickens Hospice Center, Faith Presbyterian Hospice helps that transition become less about loss and more about comfort, enrichment, love and celebration. The programs and services made possible through the Each Moment Matters Luncheon provide for the care of unfunded patients as well as the special programming and clinical services that we call the ‘Faith Difference.’
“A unique feature of the Each Moment Matters Luncheon is recognizing individuals throughout our community who are making an extraordinary difference in the lives of others. They exemplify what it means to make each moment matter and inspire us to do the same. By allowing us to honor them, they make even more extraordinary moments possible in the lives of those served by Faith Presbyterian Hospice.
“Forefront Living Foundation is pleased that Christy Cashman will be the keynote speaker for the luncheon on Friday, September 13, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. Christy is an author and mother with a diverse background in film, encompassing producing, acting and screenplay writing—a journey that inspired her debut novel.
“Christy’s debut novel, ‘The Truth About Horses,’ released in August 2023, has garnered heartfelt acclaim from readers, literary circles, and the equestrian community alike. Its poignant exploration of themes such as loss, grief, family dynamics and hope resonate deeply with audiences.
“Four dedicated community leaders are lending their names and support as honorary co-chairs of the event. We are grateful that Christie Carter, Beth and Dan Plumlee and Junior Villanueva, all of whom are former luncheon chairs, will serve in this capacity. They have each personally witnesses FPH transform the end-of-life experience and have been deeply touched by the mission to make each moment matter for those the organization serves.
