SURPASSES $500,000 GOAL!
Date: 2012-01-22
WE HAVE SURPASSED OUR GOAL!! After nine months of hard work, the Campaign for St. Joseph's Hospice Palliative Care not only reached, but surpassed our goal of $500,000 and raised $725,000!
Karin Sitko and Clint Harris, Campaign Co-Chairs, stated "We are delighted to report an overwhelming response from our appeal for donations. We received generous financial assistance from those connected to St. Joseph's Care Group, local businesses, national corporations, foundations, service clubs, organizations, and many, many private citizens."
The vision for this project was to improve the physical environment at St. Joseph's Hospice Palliative Care for clients, families and friends. The rooms need to be modernized and easier for the families of loved ones to be close at the end of life's journey.
Sylvia Kayzer, Chair, St. Joseph's Foundation and Committee Member, stated "Our outstanding team of volunteers took on the challenge to make sure the Campaign was a success. I wish to extend my personal thanks to the Co-Chairs and the dedicated members of the Campaign Committee without whose direction, advice and hard work this Campaign would not have been successful."
Tracy Buckler, President and CEO, St. Joseph's Care Group stated "This display of generosity will allow St. Joseph's Care Group to refurbish the entire Hospice Palliative Care unit. For this we are extremely grateful to all of the donors. We thank them most sincerely for their support."
