Equine Therapy Retreat
Thursday, June 4th
1:15 - 3:00 PM
Carlisle Academy

Hosted by Carlisle Academy in Lyman, Maine. Clients must provide their own transportation.

Open to adult Dempsey Center clients with a cancer diagnosis at any stage and their primary care partner. Participants must agree to Carlile Academy's waiver form and have a physician sign a medical form to participate.

Our team made space in our staff meeting today to reflect on clients who have passed away in the last month. Led by a member of our counseling team, this monthly ritual gives our staff the time to process loss together and ends with a special reading.

This month's reading came from an excerpt of a blessing written by Annie Ridout. This ritual is an extension of the space we provide for clients experiencing grief and moving through bereavement, a critical component of care offered at the Dempsey Center.

📣DOUBLE THE DONATION DAY presented by WEX, Inc.!🚨

Our friends at are ready to help make your donations go twice as far—beginning at 12pm ET today (Friday, May 8th), Dempsey Challenge donations will be matched, up to $20,000—up to $500 per Challenger!!

So get your links ready to send via email, social media, text message, carrier pigeon, message in a bottle...however you reach your donors, let them know that today their gifts will make an even greater impact in the lives of people impacted by cancer.

Haven't registered yet? Today is a great day to get started! Even your registration fees can be doubled today! Head to https://secure.qgiv.com/event/2026dempseychallenge/ to register today.

Here's the Fine Print: Only online donations and registration fees made after 12:00pm ET on Friday, May 8th will qualify for doubling. Each participant has the opportunity to have gifts matched up to a total of $500 each. For example, if you receive a $750 donation, $500 of that donation will be matched. If you receive a donation of $200, $200 of that donation will be matched, provided we haven't reached the $20,000 collective max. Please note that matched gifts will not appear automatically in your account. The Dempsey Challenge Team reviews and enters gifts manually and it can take some time. Any qualified matched gifts will appear in your fundraising dashboard by Monday, May 18th. If a matching gift does not appear, your gift likely didn't qualify for doubling or was received after $20,000 in fees and gifts were made.
