LA GRANDE (Release from the Ground Ronde Hospital Foundation) The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce the Healthier Together fundraiser event on June 24th, 2023, to unveil the next phase of the Healthier Together Campaign. The Healthier Together Campaign supports the Grande Ronde Hospital’s Campus Expansion Project, which will house a new surgical services department, a cafeteria, and Dietary Department and generate support for future projects and services at GRH.
Event highlights include music from The Wasteland Kings. This local favorite band will be coming from spring performances all over the northwest. Multiple food vendors will allow attendees to choose from different types of cuisine or share with friends and try it all! Games, activities, and fun of all kinds will be available, as well as last year’s crowd favorite – axe throwing!
The Foundation will hold three separate raffles as part of the fundraising efforts. Golden, Silver, and Bronze ticket raffles will be held leading up to the event, with winners being drawn that night.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer a fun and memorable event, and to give people the opportunity to learn about and support our campaign,” said Patrick Flynn, Foundation Manager. “We believe that when the community is engaged with and supports local, independent health care, we are Healthier Together!”
All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation and its Healthier Together Campaign, for funding the construction and equipment for the GRH Campus Expansion Project. During the event, a Live Appeal will give attendees a chance to pledge their support for the project in person and in a way to encourage others to commit as well.
“It is neat to see people making a statement to support a project such as this, and to give a nudge to their friends to do the same,” Flynn also noted all sizes of support add up quickly. “Donations of all sizes are encouraged. Who knows, your donation might be matched! Every pledge counts!” Those who cannot attend the event are encouraged to pledge online on the event website.
Event tickets are on sale now, and raffle tickets will be available in early May. Visit www.grh.org/foundation and click on the event banner for more information or to purchase tickets.
