A volunteer with Hospice of Washington County was recently honored for her fundraising efforts.

Cathy Kleese was surprised at the Washington Middle School main office with balloons, flowers, and the 2017 5K Memorial Walk Run top fundraiser medal. In the 17 years Kleese has been participating in the annual memorial event, she’s helped raise over $15,000 in donations, between $400 and $1,700 each year. The medal was presented by Katrina Altenhofen, Executive Director of Hospice of Washington County; Mary Maxted, Volunteer Director; and Robyn Harvey-Smith, Marketing Director.
