Ultrasound Campaign Finished

A number of businesses and an organization that have supported every major project The Health Foundation has undertaken in the last few years made significant donations to help bring the ultrasound campaign to a close. These are: Cornerstone Credit Union, LDM Foods, Grain Millers, Leland Campbell, Ottenbreit Sanitation and the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood. The final $12,500 contributed by these organizations brings our campaign to a close. We are now in a position to order the new ultrasound equipment. As soon as Sunrise Health Region can hire the additional staff person needed the equipment will be bought and put in the hospital; hopefully before year end, said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. The campaign has raised $216,080 at this point in time and we hope A Gala Night in Las Vegas will raise about $40,000. Already Gala tickets are 75% sold and we have a month to go before the event, he continued. Just over 70 businesses made contributions to the ultrasound campaign, raising $92,000. The remaining $124,000 was raised from just over 1,000 donations from individuals.
