First Annual Derby Night Was A Hit
“The Memorial Hospital Foundation’s First Annual Derby Night was a big hit for its patrons and the Foundation,” said Foundation Chair Vicki Bailey. After expenses were paid for the April 14th event, the Foundation realized a net profit of more than $30,000, which will be used for expansion of the digital mammography suite at the hospital and for capital equipment purchases. Contributions for the Foundation were made through Derby ticket purchases and through silent auction and live auction items. All proceeds from the auction and ticket sales will fund the expansion of the hospital’s mammography suite to make room for a new digital mammography unit. Proceeds for the Derby will also be used for the purchase of an Achilles Bone Ultrasonometer for osteoporosis screenings at health fairs.
