Riverwood Foundation has much to be thankful for this holiday season. Over the past month, the Aitkin Lions Club, McGregor Lions Clubs and Tamarack Sno-Flyers have all made generous gifts to Riverwood Foundation for the Better Together Capital Campaign totaling $5,000. In addition, these contributions have been matched dollar for dollar by the Otto Bremer Foundation, which pledged a $300,000 matching grant to the campaign earlier this year.
With the support of these civic groups and other local healthcare supporters, the Foundation has raised more than $1.4 million toward its campaign goal of $2.2 million.
The Foundation hopes to reach the Bremer challenge by December 31, which will bring the total amount raised to $1.6 million to support the hospital expansion project.
For more information about the project and to make a tax-deductible gift, visit www.riverwoodhealthcare.com/bettertogether or call the Foundation office at (218) 927-5554.
