Edmarc Unlike adult hospice, where life-saving treatment ceases and the end is certain, Edmarc offers hope. The minister's name was Edward; the boy's name was Marcus.

Established in 1978, Edmarc was the first hospice in the nation designed specifically for children. Edmarc is the only pediatric hospice organization in Hampton Roads. Edmarc was founded by the members of Suffolk Presbyterian Church in Suffolk, Virginia, along with their minister who was dying of cancer, and a young couple whose only son was dying of a progressive neuromuscular disease. The agency is named in their memory. In 1982, Edmarc Hospice for Children received a $300,000 grant from the Birthday Offering of the Presbyterian Women. This generous community gift funded the development and expansion of our hospice, home health care, and bereavement support services. Edmarc now serves a wide geographic area that includes the Virginia Peninsula and all of southside Hampton Roads.

🎶Rain, rain
Come our way
We'll just play
Another day🌧

After carefully monitoring the forecast, we have decided to delay Edmarc's Williamsburg Golf Classic until Tuesday, October 20th. We hope all sponsors and teams who originally registered for tomorrow's tournament will join us in a month as we hit a few rounds to support the mission of Edmarc and bring hope to so many children and their families.

There is good news, though! If you haven't purchased your raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two bourbon baskets, there's still time! Visit our website to snag yours. One for $25 or 5 for $100. Winners will now be announced at the rescheduled tournament on October 20th.

⛺Labor Day weekend was filled with laughter, tears, new friendships, campfire, s’mores, stories, and moments that reminded us that joy and grief and exist side by side.

✨Campers earned six M.A.G.I.C. pins, each representing a different part of their journey through camp, from morning Energizers and Discussion Groups to sharing Memories, participating in Adventure and Remembrance, and ultimately earning Courage by taking brave steps in their grief journey. The families wrote letters to loved ones, lit lanterns in remembrance, and celebrated the lives of those they carry in their hearts.

❤Most importantly, they were reminded that they are not alone. For one weekend, they didn’t have to explain their grief. They were surrounded by a community that understands, supports, remembers, and walks alongside them.

🥰To every family who trusted us with their hearts, thank you. To every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and love, thank you.

🤝We're so grateful to Triple R Ranch for once again hosting camp. And a huge shoutout to Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation and Peter Decker Children's Charity for sponsoring camp this year.

And to our community partner, FrogDog K9, thank you for bringing comfort, connection, and so many smiles to our campers through your incredible therapy dogs. 🐾

You all helped create something truly magical. ✨

🤝At Edmarc, we cherish our friendships, and for over 22 years, the Virginia Beach S**g Club has cheerfully supported our community programs with endless enthusiasm, passion, and heart.

🏌September 1st kicked off the month with this local dance club's annual charity golf tournament, held this year at Bide A Wee Golf Course in Portsmouth, Virginia. The day was a swing and a hit thanks to the golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and the Bide-A-Wee team.

💜Edmarc continues to be able to provide compassionate support and care for our children and families because of groups like the Virginia Beach S**g club stepping up to lend a hand. Together, we are serving our local community, and we could not be more grateful for this fun and meaningful partnership.

💃🕺You’ve danced your way straight into our hearts!
