Walpole Resident Among Group Organizing Third Annual Benefit for VNA Care
More Cool Hot Jazz will be held Sept. 30 at the Needham Golf Club to benefit local home health care, hospice care and the Tippett Home.
Christine Paul Tetreault of Walpole is among those behind More Cool Hot Jazz, an evening to support VNA Care’s home health services and hospice care for the terminally ill, on Friday, Sept. 30, at 6 p.m. in the Needham Golf Club, 49 Green St., Needham.
VNA Care includes VNA Care Network, VNA Hospice & Palliative Care, and the Stanley R. Tippett Hospice Home. VNA Care Network’s home health services focus on helping people with injuries and illnesses, such as COPD, cardiac disease, diabetes, total joint replacement and wounds, improve their health while continuing to live independently. When an illness is terminal, VNA Hospice & Palliative Care brings comfort and support to patients and their loved ones. Hospice care is provided in patients’ homes and the Stanley R. Tippett Hospice Home in Needham.
VNA Care’s Needham Area Community Cabinet, volunteers dedicated to raising awareness of and support for the agency’s nonprofit mission of caring, are organizing the Sept. 30 benefit. Tetreault serves on the Cabinet. (She's pictured, right, with Jane Woodbury, vice president of fund development for VNA Care.)

The benefit will feature live music by Henri Smith New Orleans Friends and Flavours, dancing, cocktail party with cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, carving station, dessert, and live and silent auctions. Louise Condon Realty and Mutual of America are Gold Sponsors of the fundraiser.
This is the third year the Needham Area Community Cabinet has planned a fall event to support the future of vital health care services by VNA Care’s Stanley R. Tippett Home, VNA Care Network, and VNA Hospice & Palliative Care. Donations are critical and used to serve patients in need, develop new programs, purchase technology and equipment, and provide state-of-the-art training for staff.
