(Batesville, Ind.) - Thanks to the generosity of our community, Margaret Mary Health Foundation raised $1 million at its “Off to the Races” gala held Sept. 28 at Walhill Farm in Batesville. All donations will support the construction of Margaret Mary Health’s new hospital currently being built at the Six Pine Ranch campus. With 500 people in attendance, the event featured a wonderful premium experience and horse racing game, cocktail hour, dinner, paddle raiser and live and silent auctions.
Through the synergistic partnership with the Franklin County Community Foundation, every dollar donated was matched to the $225,000 mark. The fundraising didn’t stop there as guests continued to raise their paddles for thousands of dollars in support of MMH. Ripley County Community Foundation also came to the stage to pledge its support of $100,000 towards the new hospital.
The night concluded with dancing and live music by Groove Essentials out of Indianapolis.
“We are so excited about the evening’s success – the generosity and excitement in the room was palpable, and we are so grateful,” said Jonathon Maple, MMHF Executive Director.
The gala marked the launch of the Health Foundation’s $10 million capital campaign for the new hospital. To contribute and get involved in this transformational project, contact Maple at 812.933.5141 or Jonathon.maple@mmhealth.org.
