Tri-Cities Chaplaincy Honors Dedicated Volunteers During April Volunteer Appreciation Month4/3/2024 Tri-Cities Chaplaincy proudly recognizes and celebrates the invaluable contributions of its dedicated volunteers, especially during April, which is Volunteer Appreciation Month. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Without their commitment, compassion, and selflessness, we wouldn't be able to make the profound impact we do on our community.
Annually, volunteers contribute 5% of the Chaplaincy’s total patient care hours, based on a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requirement. From connecting deeply with patients and their families to providing essential support in our hospice house by preparing warm, comforting meals, and assisting with light housekeeping, our volunteers go above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our care feels supported and cared for during challenging times. Additionally, our volunteers are vital in facilitating Cork's Place Kids Grief Center sessions, offering a safe and supportive environment for children to process their emotions and find solace during times of loss and grief. Beyond direct care, our volunteers also generously lend their time and skills to assist with administrative tasks, ensuring the smooth operation of our programs and services. Furthermore, they actively engage with the community, spreading awareness about Tri-Cities Chaplaincy's mission and programs and rallying support for those in need. We are especially proud to offer Veteran volunteer opportunities as part of the We Honor Veterans program. Volunteers actively engage with veteran patients to provide support and closure. These dedicated volunteers play a crucial role in honoring and supporting our community's veterans. "We are immensely grateful for the dedication and compassion demonstrated by our volunteers every day," said Laurie Jackson, CEO at Tri-Cities Chaplaincy. "Their commitment to serving others embodies the true spirit of volunteerism and profoundly impacts the lives of those we serve. During Volunteer Appreciation Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to each and every volunteer who contributes to our mission of providing comfort, support, and hope to individuals and families in our community." Tri-Cities Chaplaincy encourages individuals who are looking to apply their skills for good to learn more about its many volunteer programs and opportunities.

Apollo of Kennewick has agreed to be the Title Sponsor of the Tri City Water Follies Hydroplane races, now named the Apollo Columbia Cup. The commitment has been made for the next three years.
After suffering financial losses since 2020, the Tri-City Water Follies Association was in critical need of securing financial support from a Title Sponsor to continue the 59-year event. Apollo, with over 40 years in the community and over 30 years involvement, stepped up to allow the largest event in the Tri- Cities to continue its legacy. Apollo is a Native American owned business that officially began operations in 1981 under the guidance and vision of owner Bruce Ratchford. Over the past 40+ years, the company has grown from humble beginnings to successfully perform $1 Billion in annual revenue. Their service expertise encompasses Commercial and Industrial Construction worldwide. From Apollo’s earliest beginning Bruce held the belief that building something truly requires the effort of every team member. Their slogan “Building People Who Build Great Things” is a testament to their success. Nathan Craghill, President of Tri City Water Follies expressed his gratitude for the generous support from Apollo. “On behalf of the Board of Directors, approximately 1200 volunteers, and our loyal race fans, we are incredibly thankful for Apollo’s investment and collaboration to allow us to continue the hydroplane races which has been a tradition for generations.” STCU is the sponsor of the Over the River Airshow. Other sponsorships include marketing and advertising opportunities customized to individual needs and include V.I.P. ticket packages, media coverage, community outreach, and exposure to an average of 50,000 attendees. |
