15th Anniversary
Philanthropy has been an important part of the history at Pardee Hospital. It began with the first initial challenge gift by Ivor Pardee of $100,000, which purchased the current site for our community hospital. This year we celebrate the Heritage Society, which recognizes donors who have given cumulative lifetime gifts over $250,000.
In January 1996, the hospital board created a Foundation for the purpose of fundraising for the hospital. Throughout the 15 year history of the Foundation, Pardee Hospital has provided the operating funds for the Foundation, making it possible for every gift made to be used 100% for Pardee services. There have been many events and several fundraising campaigns, all successfully fulfilling the Foundation’s mission to support Pardee Hospital programs and services.
Thank you, the community of philanthropy, for raising $25 million for Pardee. Please return to this site in the future to learn how we will be celebrating our 15th year throughout 2011. As details become available, we will update this page.
