Colgate Hosts Butterfly Release

Thu, Jul 28, 2011

Colgate will host the third annual Butterfly Release Celebration on Wednesday, Aug. 10, (with a rain date of Aug. 11) at 6 p.m.

The celebration is sponsored by the Hospice & Palliative Care Development Council of Madison County and proceeds from the event will be used to support children’s bereavement programs.

The butterfly release celebration is an opportunity to honor someone special or memorialize loved ones by sponsoring a butterfly in their name. The highlight of the evening will be the individual release and flight of hundreds of monarch butterflies, accompanied by live music and followed by refreshments on the grounds of Colgate's Merrill House.

Sponsorship is $25 per butterfly or five for $100. To ensure that you will have a butterfly to release and acknowledgment of your loved one in the program, all butterfly orders must be received by Wednesday, Aug. 3.

To sponsor butterflies contact Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. at 735-6487 ext 249.
