The Festival of Trees committee along with the help of Logan Crowther, Worth Liipfert, Luke Lackman, Fran Nolan and Dr. Heath Simmons held the annual “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” event to benefit FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice last Saturday, September 29, at Port Royal Landing Marina. The event dodged the rain and instead was given a big beautiful fall moon over the water. The fundraiser wouldn’t be the same without the involvement of Mike Lewis and Bill and Cheryl Mote who worked as the expert grillers cooking up wonderful cheeseburgers for everyone to enjoy. All proceeds went to FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice, Beaufort’s local hospice providing loving care to our community completely free of charge for over 33 years.  Special thanks to all those that attended plus the following sponsors: Bill’s Liquor, Carolina Wings &amp; Rib House, Fripp Island Resort, Laneco Express II, Port Royal Landing Marina, Palmetto Brewery, Palm Key Catering and the Town of Port Royal.  Here are some pics by Jane Abrahms from the fun event:
