Hospice Challenge 2007
 Eight teams competed in the Hospice Challenge 2007 dinghy team race, sailing Flying Juniors on the Patuxent River, off the Solomons Island Boardwalk. The Foundation team, composed of members of the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation, took the win. Awards were given at the post-race party held at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association Club House in Solomons Island. As a part of Hospice Challenge 2007, a 15-foot Boston Whaler was raffled off. The event as a whole raised over 12,000 for Calvert Hospice, Hospice of St. Mary's, the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation and Rotary International Scholarship Fund. A big thanks to the Southern Maryland Sailing Association and Screwpile for their contributions to this event and the benefiting organizations. Check out event pictures here.
2007 Crop
 Croppers gathered to scrapbook for Hospice this past March at King's Landing Park in Huntingtown. The 12-hour day was filled with scrapbooking, fun and friendship. Jennifer Suite organizes the event to raise money for the Calvert Hospice Volunteer Program. Funds raised help train, honor, and celebrate volunteers. Each crop a special scrapbook is crafted for a current Hospice patient and his or her family. This year's crop raised over $2,000.
