The Fry Healthcare Foundation Festival of Hearts
was a resounding success, raising more than
$37,000 in one night.
With the money from the gala, combined with
funds from the 2016 Golf Tournament, we are able
to fund the entire $41,000 for the Spacelabs
Healthcare Cardiac Monitoring Central Station
Control System for Boundary Community Hospital.
“We had lots of new faces and a few old friends
at this first annual gala event.” said Linda
Hiatt, co-chair of the Festival of Hearts. “The
Kootenai River Inn put on a spectacular dinner
and the auction items donated by local
businesses and private donors made the event
fun.”
“The highlight for me was the Dessert Dash when
we raised $2,641.02,” according to Teresa Rae,
Vice President of Fry Healthcare Foundation.
Each table pooled their resources and put
together a cumulative bid for the table to
purchase a dessert. The highest bidding table
had first chance to dash up to pick from the
luscious cakes and pies created by local
businesses and individuals. It was a lot of fun
and everyone enjoyed their “just desserts.”
The Festival of Hearts is a new tradition for
the foundation.
Next year’s event will be on Saturday, February
10, at the Kootenai River Inn.
The Fry Healthcare Foundation and our community
have raised $1.2-million to benefit the hospital
over the past 21 years. Thank you to the
community for your continued support of the
Foundation and its fundraising efforts on behalf
of Boundary Community Hospital. |
