Wine Tasting and Auction

Thanks to the generous support of individuals and business that donated to and purchased items at the East Adams County Healthcare Foundation 2007 Wine Tasting and Auction it was a very successful event.   $15, 042.00 was raised through ticket and wine sales, monetary donations and auction purchases.  The funds raised have been targeted to purchase a power exam table for the Ritzville clinic, a microscope for the hospital laboratory and bariatric chairs for the clinic lobbies.  The Foundation would like to express its sincere thank you to all that contributed to and attended this years event.

The date for the 2008 Wine Tasting & Auction has been set for Sept. 27, 2008 The theme this year will be “Under the Tuscan Sun” and there will again be wonderful wines to sample, gourmet appetizers, and an array of auction items.  We hope you will mark your calendar to attend this festive event and help the Foundation in its efforts to support healthcare in Eastern Adams County. 
 

 

Over the years, the East Adams County Healthcare Foundation has continuously supported the hospital by helping with activities promoting public awareness of hospital services, collecting and distributing memorial contributions and sponsoring a major fund raising event each year with the proceeds designated for a specific preselected hospital project.  Over the years the foundation has purchased or made a significant financial contribution to many items of medical equipment such as a blood warmer, IV pumps, blanket warmer, and pulse oximeters.  They have also contributed to redecoration of the acute care patient rooms, the purchase of new ambulances for Ritzville, Lind and Washtucna, a new entry ramp for physical therapy, the remodel of the Lind and Washtucna clinics and  most recently the installation of automatic door openers at the hospital entrances.  The funds raised at the 2006 event were used to purchase a power exam table for the Ritzville Clinic and a PCA pain pump for East Adams Rural Hospital.  The Foundation’s efforts on behalf of the hospital and clinics have had a significant impact on the hospital’s ability to modernize and update equipment and services.

 

Currently the major sources of funding for the East Adams County Healthcare Foundation are memorial contributions, individual donations and the annual wine tasting and auction which is held every fall.  Through the efforts of the foundation members and generosity of individuals and businesses in the area the wine tasting and auction has grown into an enjoyable and profitable annual event.
