Fall Fundraiser

Each year Community Hospital Health Foundation hosts a gala event in which the community is invited to participate. From 1998 through 2004, the event was entitled “An Evening for Hospice”. In 2005, we took a brief change of direction to celebrate 20 years of Community Hospital Health Foundation’s existence. Although the theme was focused on celebrating growth over time, the proceeds were directed to Hospice services. In 2006 the gala event returned to “An Evening for Hospice” theme. Thanks to the many sponsors, donors and bidders at the live and silent auctions, more than $200,000 has been raised for Hospice services in the past nine years. Those dollars have made it possible for Community Hospital Health Foundation to pay for home and hospital hospice care, family support materials and continued education and training for our wonderful Hospice nurses.

The most important aspect of the Fall Fundraiser is the tremendous support given by members of our greater community. People and business owners who give generously because they recognize how fortunate we are to have health care available here, at home. They know that philanthropy supports the professionals and staff at Community Hospital and their gifts make the difference between adequate services and the best care we can offer.

In the years to come we will continue to plan and implement an annual event in the fall that is both a fundraiser for healthcare and an opportunity for the community to celebrate.
