SiebenCarey Joins Gala Bash, Pledges Support for Crescent Cove – Minnesota’s Only Hospice Care Home for Children
L. to r., Jim Carey, SC President, Nick Carey, Attorney, and Ian Carey, Investigator, joined friends and family at the 12th Annual Gala for Crescent Cove.
An enthusiastic contingent from SiebenCarey joined hundreds of people and several Twin Cities celebrities at the 12th Annual Gala for Crescent Cove, Minnesota’s first and only home designed to provide end-of-life hospice care for children.
Headline celebrities on hand for the event included World Series ace Jack Morris, along with Gala emcee Dick Bremmer, the former Minnesota Twins announcer. In a tribute to legendary Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew, Bremmer said, “This was a cause very near and dear to him and those of us who knew Harmon. All of us are so dedicated to this cause in part because it was so important to Harmon."
SiebenCarey, a "Kin Sponsor" of the Event
“It was an incredible evening,” said Ian Carey, SiebenCarey Investigator, who is connected with the founders of Crescent Cove and first introduced the organization to the law firm. “Crescent Cove does amazing work to ease the burden placed on these children and their families while helping them celebrate the time they have left together – all at no cost to the families. I look forward to continuing as an advocate for the inspiring work they do.”
“As a law firm, we are honored to support Crescent Cove and hope to expand our financial commitment in the future,” said Jim Carey, SiebenCarey president. “As a parent, I also see this as a personal obligation to Minnesota families who face extraordinarily challenging circumstances.”
The event, held on Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Mall of America J.W. Mariott, raised $423,000 to help offset the services and family stays at the Brooklyn Center-based facility. As a “Kin Sponsor,” SiebenCarey provided the group with a significant contribution.
SiebenCarey attorney Nick Carey attended the Crescent Cove Gala along with Jim and Ian and several other members of the Carey family, including Molly Carey, Lindsay Carey, Danielle Carey, Gerry Carey, and Lisa Gariepy.
Minnesota's Only Hospice Care Home for Children
Each year, more than 700 children die in Minnesota – half of whom could have potentially benefited from a children’s hospice home. The Crescent Cove Respite & Hospice Home for Kids serves as a place families can go to care for their children with life-threatening conditions.
Kids and young adults, 0-21 years old, can stay in one of six bedrooms for overnight respite and, as needed, a sacred place at the end of life. Along with therapy rooms and recreational space, a family suite is available so family members may stay together while enjoying a temporary getaway from the constant demands of caregiving.
Nursing professionals trained in pediatric palliative care are on-site to provide daily care, meals, pain, and symptom control. Crescent Cove also offers a network of therapists to engage with kids through music, art, pet therapy, healing touch, spiritual care, and hydrotherapy.
