GRMC's Annual Fund Meets Challenge

GRMC’s Annual Fund Meets Challenge

Area residents have taken and met the Claude W. Ahrens Charitable Trust challenge to Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s annual fund drive. With two weeks left to the year, residents still have time to make a contribution to the fund drive and support their local community hospital.

 Under the challenge, the Ahrens Charitable Trust matched gift to the annual fund, up to $10,000.

“We are delighted that community members have given to GRMC and doubled those funds with the Claude W. Ahrens Charitable Trust challenge,” says George Drake, chair of the GRMC Foundation Board. “Sustaining our local hospital takes the support of the entire community and service area. I want to thank all to donors so far for the commitment of this challenge. We will continue to accept donations for the 2013 annual fund appeal right up to December 31.” 

Donations to the annual fund support the ongoing general operations and programs of GRMC. Typically, donations to the annual fund are unrestricted, but they may also be designated to specific programs. Gifts may also be made in honor of a caregiver or loved one. To make a gift or pledge to the 2013 annual fund at GRMC, go to www.grmc.us and click the link “Make a Donation” or call Denise Lamphier, director of communications and development, at 641-236-2589.
