On behalf of the VGH Healthcare Foundation, thank you for your participation in the Tree of Lights fundraising efforts this year.
It was amazing and very gratifying to see everyone get behind this effort – it was truly a community effort. We’ve set the bar very high for years to come, raising well over $85,000.00 this year for digital mammography.
It will pay dividends for our community starting next month when our mammography machine will be put into service. You can find the complete list of donors here.
If you’d still like to make a donation please feel free to do so. Any gifts that come to us before the end of the year will be put towards digital mammography. After that, it will go toward next year’s Tree of Lights projects.
Again, thank you all and have a very Merry Christmas.
