Grief Gone Wild

[MartyT]

Grief is a Journey.

There is plenty to discover along the way.

Grief
Gone
Wild

A wilderness experience for grieving teens.

For the second year, Hospice of the Valley and the City of Phoenix are co-hosting Grief Gone Wild, a five-day river rafting trip designed to help teens move toward peace and acceptance by sharing with others like them and engaging in special activities. The expedition takes place from June 28 to July 3 along the exhilerating San Juan River in Utah.

Hospice of the Valley provides the funding, made possible through generous donations from the CIGNA HealthCare of Arizona Pro-Am Golf Tournament, staged by the Southwest Section of PGA America, and by donors who attended the agency's spring fundraiser AAHA! An Auction of Heirlooms and Art.

Dates: June 28 - July 3, 2007
Costs: Teen portion $75
HOV bereavement counselors and certified river rafting experts will guide the group.
