Cornerstone VNA Announces 110 Giving Challenge

Cornerstone VNA Announces 110 Giving Challenge

 

Rochester, NH:  2023 marks 110 years for Cornerstone VNA, a local nonprofit home health and hospice organization, and to celebrate this important milestone, they are embarking on a special giving challenge. Through their 110 Giving Challenge, their goal is to get 110 donations in the last 110 days of 2023.

 

All donations received through this challenge will support uninsured patients, as well as programs with the greatest need. This includes critical programs that receive little to no insurance reimbursement, such as Palliative Care, which provides care for patients with chronic illnesses, and remote monitoring and support for high-risk patients through their Telehealth program.

 

According to Erika Lee, Advancement Director at Cornerstone VNA, “Throughout our milestone anniversary year, we have been recognizing our healthcare heroes through history and celebrating our continued efforts to go above and beyond for those we serve.” Lee adds, “This special Giving Challenge is an exciting way to honor our 110th year and will help keep us moving forward in providing the very best care to our patients of all ages.”

 

As an added bonus, FedPoint, administrator of large-scale insurance and benefit programs, has partnered with Cornerstone VNA to provide $11,000 in matching funds. This means that all donations will be matched, effectively doubling gifts made through the challenge.

 

Julie Reynolds, President/CEO of Cornerstone VNA shares, “We have developed a wonderful partnership with FedPoint, and we are thrilled to have their generous matching support to double donations made to Cornerstone VNA.” Reynolds continues, “With the kind support of FedPoint and our donors, I know we can reach our goal of 110 donors in 110 days and raise $22,000 and beyond!”

 

To participate in Cornerstone VNA’s 110 Giving Challenge visit cornerstonevna.org/110-challenge or send a check to Cornerstone VNA, 178 Farmington Road, Rochester, NH 03867, and include 110 Giving Challenge in the check memo.
