A 50th anniversary is considered “golden,” dating back to the Roman Empire when wives received a golden wreath from their husbands. It’s a special recognition of something that has stood the test of time. We’re proud of the work of Sun Health and Sun Health Foundation over the last 50 years, and wanted to update you on the “50/50 Campaign” initiative designed to honor our 50th anniversary and build support through legacy gifts.
As we mentioned in November, the goal of the campaign is to identify 50 new donors who have designated Sun Health Foundation in their estate for a gift of any size. To date, we have identified 33 donors, but we’re looking for a few more. Our campaign is scheduled through June 2017, the end of our fiscal year.
Can we count on your support?
Many estate gifts are unrestricted in nature, giving future boards of directors the ability to determine the best use of the funds.
We hope you will join our campaign to strengthen our sustainability. You will be joining thousands of others in continuing the legacy of support, including those pictured below who helped Sun Health secure its first million dollar campaign goal in 1969, paving the way to the opening of Walter O. Boswell Memorial Hospital in 1970. For more information about how to include the Foundation in your estate plans, contact me at 623-832-5582.
