MOOSE JAW — The Mad Greek Restaurant is once again partnering with Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw to host its fifth annual rib night fundraiser, set to take place at the restaurant raising funds for Heartland Hospice’s ongoing Capital Campaign project.
The fundraiser will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 26 and Thursday, Feb. 27.
The rib night will be in effect during The Mad Greek’s regular business hours on each respective date and features 12 oz. of boneless Greek ribs, Caesar salad, and garlic toast. Tickets are priced at $25 apiece with options for dine-in, takeout, or drive-through pickup to accommodate diners.
All funds raised will support the creation of a dedicated hospice space in Moose Jaw, featuring three specialized palliative care bedrooms, a family room, sacred space, serenity garden, and a private entrance to the wing at Pioneer Lodge.
In recent weeks, renovations at Pioneer Lodge have included the installation of flooring, millwork, ceiling lights, sprinklers, and interior doors as the project continues to take shape. Furniture and equipment have already started to arrive including specialized “cuddle beds” designed to allow a second person to lie comfortably beside a loved one — an update that palliative care staff consider essential for resident’s care.
The project is being led by C&S Builders in Moose Jaw, who are responsible for construction and project management duties. Local suppliers including Budget Blinds have contributed furnishings and other elements, with Jillian’s Design Elements sponsoring all furnishings in the family room.
Once completed, all major contributors to the Capital Campaign will be recognized onsite.
Fundraising efforts have been pivotal in advancing the project. As of January 2025, the Capital Campaign has raised around $809,000 out of its $1 million target thanks to community support and events like the Spurs and Stilettos Cabaret. Now, thanks to the partnership with The Mad Greek, a further opportunity exists to support the ongoing project — all while enjoying a delicious meal.
Due to the Canada Post strike action in late 2024, the CRA has extended its charitable donation period for contributions to organizations such as Heartland Hospice. If you wish to make a donation, you’ll now have the option to write it off on either your 2024 or 2025 tax return.
