2025 Lottery Calendar: Honoring the Service of Local Veterans
Homeland’s 2025 Lottery Calendar is on sale! The calendar honors the service and sacrifice of local Veterans served by Homeland Hospice and residents of Homeland Center. This heartfelt piece includes photos and stories of bravery and patriotism from Veterans who put country above self, as well as family members and volunteers impacted by military service.
“As an Air Force Veteran, this calendar fills me with pride,” says Homeland Director of Development Troy Beaver. “The people featured are truly remarkable and inspiring.”
Homeland’s Lottery Calendar has become a tradition for friends, volunteers and supporters of Homeland’s work. In fact, this is the 9th annual calendar. The monthly calendar costs $25 and supports the organization’s benevolent care programs. About 1,200 calendars are produced and sold annually, and everyone who purchases a calendar is eligible to be entered into daily drawings for cash prizes ranging from $30-$100.
The theme for the 2025 Lottery Calendar is an extension of Homeland Hospice’s 15th anniversary, which was celebrated with a special event held on November 23, 2024, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. “History, Heart & Honor… Hats off to the Homeland Hospice 15th” recognized local Veterans as well as the history of the hospice movement and hospice patients and staff. Homeland “tipped their hats to all Veterans” by featuring stories from the calendar along with patriotic musical performances and a gallery of heart canvases crafted by families in remembrance of a loved one.
Proceeds from calendar sales provide financial support and additional services to Homeland residents, patients and clients in need as well as hospice supportive services. Homeland provides approximately $4 million in benevolent care annually for those in need. Through the lottery calendar, more than $70,000 has been raised since 2015 to support Homeland’s benevolent care program.
Homeland believes that every interaction with a resident, client or patient is an opportunity to create a memorable moment, making an ordinary day a special day. This is especially true for residents and patients who no longer have the financial means to pay. A hallmark of Homeland is that no one is ever asked to leave because they can no longer afford care.
“Our quality of care is second to none,” Troy adds. “Funds raised help ensure patients and residents in need get the very best care possible for as long as they need it.”
