Aspire Rural Health System Foundation held its Winter Fundraiser on Saturday, February 1st, at Beagio’s in Kingston. With over 250 attendees, the event raised more than $58,000. Guests enjoyed an exciting evening featuring dinner, entertainment by Dueling Pianos, a 50/50 raffle, and live and silent auctions. In a generous act of philanthropy, our very own co-CEO, Angie McConnachie, won the 50/50 raffle of $1,145 and donated the full amount back to the event.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will be divided equally among three key hospital projects: the Aspire Deckerville Community Hospital Parking Lot Expansion, Aspire Hills & Dales Healthcare Inpatient Rooms, and Aspire Marlette Regional Hospital Hyperbaric Chamber. These projects are essential to improving healthcare services and ensuring high-quality care for our communities.
Aspire Rural Health System Foundation extends sincere gratitude to all attendees, sponsors, donors, and volunteers who contributed to making this event a tremendous success. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on rural healthcare.
