Be a part of Life’s Big Moments

How you can support Life’s Big Moments

Life is filled with Big Moments that have lasting impact, create unforgettable memories and help make each individual unique. Sometimes, special “Little Moments” can become Big Moments or milestones of major significance. The final months of life especially can be filled with Big Moments that create joy, laughter, comfort and treasured memories.

Life’s Big Moments is a campaign that celebrates and empowers these defining hallmarks in time, sponsored by NorthStar Care Community – a nationwide organization of mission-driven end-of-life programs and services, outlined in the chart below. All funds raised through the Life’s Big Moments campaign benefit the members of NorthStar Care Community.

Expert end-of-life care typically can add days to life and add life to days. Unfortunately, many families across the nation don’t know about services available, often at little or no cost to them. By becoming a donor and supporter of Life’s Big Moments, you can help educate patients and families about access to vital end-of-life care – and be the spark for making more of Life’s Big Moments possible.
