History

The Memorial Healthcare Foundation's commitment to the community began in 1993, when input from several community leaders, started its commitment to raising funds for the hospital expansion, capital equipment purchases, supporting education through scholarships and community programming.

The Foundation holds an annual dinner/auction most recently held in October. The annual attendance and support continues to grow. From a dinner & take away auction of fun items & raffle tickets, it has evolved into several auctions - a $100 minimum value take away auction, silent auction, live auction, raffles and a key sale featuring pieces of fine jewelry.

The Foundation golf tournament held at Lake Arrowhead is in June each year, weather permitting. This 18-hole best-ball tournament is an annual outing for many golfers at one of the finest courses in Wisconsin. Tournament Registration Form

The Tree of Life in the front lobby of the hospital was donated by Jerry & Elaine Kotek at the time of the 1995 addition. The Tree was moved into the new hospital lobby and continues to provide an opportunity to donate in memory of someone who has passed on. Print donation form -or- Donate Online Now

Another recently added fundraising event is Casino Night held at Lake Arrowhead in January of each year. This fun-filled night of Vegas-type gambling was limited to only 150, which sold out this past January. Watch for information on Casino Night 2007 to be held in January 2007.

Feeling it was time for change, expansion and exploration of new options the Foundation Board has expanded from seven members to twenty to create a broader community base. Members are from several businesses and occupations, all supporting the mission and vision of the Foundation. Standing committees are Fund Raising, Finance, Nominating, Public Relations, and Recognition whose members include Foundation Board members, community members and staff from MMH&C.
