The magnificence of butterflies taking flight will highlight the 19th Annual Butterfly Release, held to benefit the Good Samaritan Fund at Cross Keys Village, which supports residents who have exhausted their financial resources. Money is raised through butterfly sponsorships, which honor or memorialize a loved one.

The 2026 Butterfly Release will take place at the Cross Keys Village pond, starting at 10:00 on Saturday, May 30.

“The need for charity care has perhaps never been as vital as it is today,” says Mike Kovacs, Vice President of Foundation. “Reimbursement from government agencies is shrinking. Meanwhile, costs continue to increase. Gifts to the Good Samaritan Fund help to provide a vital link in assuring that all residents receive the quality care they deserve.”

Please Note: The names of honored or departed loved ones will be read aloud prior to the butterflies being released. Online butterfly sponsorships will be accepted until May 27. Please sponsor your butterfly by May 18 for inclusion in the list of names.

Butterfly sponsorships will continue up to and including the day of the event, according to supply. Please call our Foundation office at 624-5208 to reserve a butterfly or if you have any questions, and see you on May 30!

With a gift of $25 you can personally release a butterfly at our May 30 event or have one released for you.

Sponsorship of Butterflies

Online butterfly sponsorships are now closed. Butterflies will still be available the day of the event.
