News from the Campaign Committee

The Health Center’s Campaign Committee met last week after Philanthropy Day on Cape Cod, an annual event for local non-profits and their staff and volunteers, businesses, and community members to get together, share, learn and celebrate philanthropy. We were thrilled that committee members Joel Peterson and Jim Franklin, as well as a Board Member Brenda Swithenbank and CEO Karen Gardner attended the event.

While the day overall was a huge success and very positive, there was a common feeling that fundraising was very difficult for organizations across the board this year and numbers were down. This is no surprise due to the current economic climate. While raising the funds for our new addition has proven challenging this year, we know that our community needs this facility more than ever.

Thanks to many philanthropists, friends, foundations, and businesses we have raised nearly $2 million for this project. With about $1.2 million left, we are confident that our entire community will come together to see that this goal is met, and that our friends and neighbors in need have a place to receive high-quality, affordable healthcare for years to come.

If you would like to help us reach our goal for the Building for the Future Expansion Campaign, please call the Development Office at 508-477-5990 to discuss your wishes and how you can help. Thank you for your support!
