Memorial Hospital Foundation is delighted to share the exciting news that an anonymous benefactor has committed to match all donations, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000, during the period of October 2023 through February 2024. This remarkable pledge comes at a crucial juncture as the Foundation inches closer to its ambitious fundraising goal of $2 million total raised. Since its establishment in 2015, the Foundation has successfully raised over $1.93 million, channeling 100% of these funds toward initiatives that enhance the well-being of our communities and quality local healthcare. All fundrs raised directly support and fulfill the Foundation’s mission: “Enhancing the health and wellness of our communities through charitable giving.” Presently, the Foundation is actively fundraising for its Grow Our Own Scholarship Campaign and Memorial Hospital’s Endowment Fund. The Grow Our Own Fund empowers staff members to achieve their personal and professional aspirations through scholarship opportunities, while the Endowment Fund serves as a financial reservoir ensuring the longevity of quality local healthcare for future generations. Donors participating in this ongoing holiday match drive have the option to direct their contributions to either the Endowment Fund or the Scholarship Fund, aligning with their preferences. The Foundation expresses profound gratitude for the unwavering support and benevolence demonstrated by our local communities. For further information about the Foundation, kindly reach out to Greta Wetzel, Executive Director of the Memorial Hospital Foundation, at gwetzel@mhtlc.org.
