According to 2025 Each Moment Matters Luncheon Co-Chairs Susan Farris and Lora Farris,
“The Each Moment Matters Luncheon marks a significant milestone in providing dignified and compassionate end-of-life care. With more than three million dollars 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.
“We have the honor of chairing the 2025 Luncheon on Thursday, October 16, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. Our holiday wish is that you would consider supporting this unique event. While we are making plans, including securing an interesting and relevant featured speaker we ask that you consider the special niche that this event fulfills.
“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.
“Last year, the Each Moment Matters Luncheon raised over $500,000 for the patients and families served by Faith Presbyterian Hospice. This support translated into:
- “3,657 days of charitable care for unfunded patients
- “More than 3,500 music and therapeutic massage sessions
- “464 children receiving children’s grief support services
“The Each Moment Matters Luncheon serves as a vital fundraising platform for the Faith Caring Fund at Faith Presbyterian Hospice. This fund is instrumental in providing compassionate care.
