“Embracing The World With Hope” 2022 CACCC Essay Contest
「懷著希望，迎向世界」2022 年美華慈心關懷聯盟有獎徵文活動
In celebration of our 17th year of compassionate service, the Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care (CACCC) is proud to host our second essay contest, “Embracing the World with Hope”. Our goal and hope are to engage the global community and increase awareness on the importance of advance care planning, documenting health care and medical wishes at the end of life by showcasing meaningful stories that reflect the best of humanity during one of the most difficult and challenging times in our lives: saying goodbye to family members and loved ones with hope and no regrets.
The global pandemic, notwithstanding, we hope that you will be encouraged to share your story, your thoughts with others who may be inspired and moved by your words, insight and perspective on the importance of honoring and respecting end-of-life care wishes.
Please share your story and carefully read the essay contest criteria. Essay submission deadline is 11:59pm (PT), July 10, 2022.
Who may participate
Any United States resident and CACCC global volunteers are welcomed to participate. Those under 18 years of age will need a parent or guardian’s signature. Please limit only one entry per person.
