2nd Annual Celebrating the Journey Gala

The 2^nd Annual Celebrating the Journey Gala benefiting the S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House will be held on September 26, 2025, at The Peninsula Club in Cornelius, NC. This black-tie optional Gala will bring guests on a journey to celebrate life with signature drinks, a sit-down dinner, a short program, live and silent auctions, dancing, and a live band.

Longtime Mooresville residents Eric and Beth Hutchby are serving as co-chairs of the 2025 Celebrating the Journey Gala, after experiencing the care of the S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House last fall with Eric’s father.

“After years of managing my father’s illness and tirelessly ensuring he received the proper care from a distance in Ohio, the hospice house became exactly what we needed. We were able to transfer Dad directly from his home in Ohio to the compassionate environment of the facility,” said Eric, primary caregiver for his father.

Eric continued: “Over the course of several weeks, we were profoundly moved by the dedicated and heartfelt care given to each patient. Dad was made as comfortable as possible, and we were able to spend his final weeks together in a warm, home-like setting that offered not only attentive care for his physical needs but also deep support for our emotional well-being. It truly provided us with a peaceful and meaningful time to be with him during his last days,” said Hutchby.

Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County is proud to be a non-profit organization; this means that lack of insurance or insufficient insurance is never a barrier to care. Typically, the care provided at the S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House costs more than insurance reimburses. We hold the Celebrating the Journey Gala so all patients can receive the care they deserve at the end of life. With the support of this amazing community, we are committed to continuing to provide services far into the future.

The S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House offers comfort, compassion, and care when it matters most for patients whose end-of-life needs cannot be effectively addressed in the home. State-licensed and accredited, an expert team of professionals provides around-the-clock care in a warm, inviting, home-like environment that puts patients and families at ease.

The S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House is located at 1325 Mecklenburg Hwy, Mooresville, NC.
