A spacious venue, provided by the Grand River Center, was the place to be on Thursday, March 27, for BestFest 2008. Another sold-out crowd was treated to samples from the winning businesses, voted and chosen by the community during the month of January.

We at Hospice of Dubuque are incredibly grateful to all who support and participate in BestFest. The funds raised will be used to help supplement the cost of care not covered by insurance, state or federal medical programs. The financial support also allows Hospice of Dubuque to provide bereavement services and support to families. Hospice of Dubuque received over $29,000 from the community’s overwhelming response to the BestFest event.

Lastly, a big thank you to the sponsors of BestFest 2008:

GOLD: Budweiser/Kirchhoff Distributing, Coca-Cola, Diamond Jo Casino, Dupaco Community Credit Union, Grand River Center, John Deere Dubuque Works, OnMedia, Radio Dubuque and The Dubuque Advertiser.

SILVER: A.Y. McDonald Charitable Foundation, Conlon Construction and Finley Hospital.

BRONZE: Biechler Electric, Mercy Medical Center, Midwest Business Products, OptionCare and Sedona Staffing Services.
