Valley Health Shenandoah Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on Jan. 27
This year’s Valley Health United Way Campaign was a resounding success, raising approximately $145,000 for those in need and exceeding its goal of $130,000.
“I’m beyond thrilled that we were able, as a system, to come together in this purpose and more than achieve our goal,” said Vice President of Shenandoah Memorial Hospital Tammy Gasper, who served as this year’s chair on the Valley Health United Way Cabinet. “The past two years have been eye-opening in many ways. This was a way for everyone to reach out and help the community and those they know. It’s been heartwarming.”
The campaign ran from August through the end of December and offered ways to support all United Way organizations in the area through cash donations, payroll deduction pledges, and a wide range of fundraising events.
This year, special events/fundraisers brought in $21,238, while employee cash and payroll pledges totaled $122,946.
Fundraisers included Jeans Days, pumpkin-decorating contests, basket raffles, silent auctions, food trucks, discount headshots and more.
