Here are just a few examples of recent fundraising activities and events organized by PIH Health Champions.
Club Donation
Mended Hearts Chapter 351 conducts fundraising opportunities at its monthly meetings and annual community events. Funds raised by the group support college scholarship awards for PIH Health volunteers. These scholarships are great investments in the youth of our community.
The Friendship Square Quilt Guild (FSQG) donated $1,200 in proceeds from their annual Quilt Show raffle. FSQG is committed to serving quilters and their communities through education, fellowship, community, and philanthropic activities. Funds raised in support of the Patricia L. Sheifly PIH Health Breast Health Center located on the campus of PIH Health Whittier Hospital.
Benefit Concert
Music For Sharing is a student-driven, non-profit organization whose mission is to provide healing through music. For the past two years, the organization has performed a holiday concert of classical pieces for patients, family members, and hospital staff resulting in $3,000 in support of PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital.
For over ten years, the East Whittier Middle School Instrumental Music Program has donated proceeds from its annual spring benefit concert contributing nearly $40,000 in support of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at PIH Health Whittier Hospital.
School Fundraisers
Each year, the La Serna High School Football Club designs a Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirt and sells it through the month of October leading up to the team’s Breast Cancer Awareness football game. Last fall, the team presented the Breast Health Center with a $2,500 check in support of its work and has raised nearly $25,000 since 2011.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also a cause supported by Immaculate Heart School. Since 2014, the school has raised over $10,000 for Helen’s Room at PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital. Helen’s Room is managed by an all-volunteer staff and provides free wigs, hats, scarves, mastectomy bras, and support services for cancer survivors.
