Events
Every year, Memorial Health Foundation sponsors and hosts several events to benefit a designated cause within Memorial Health System. These events bring together our community to raise awareness and support for our Cancer Patient Emergency Fund, Selby General Hospital, home and hospice, as well as our other funds we have to assist our patients’ needs.
Our annual fashion show brings together local businesses and cancer survivors for a fun filled evening for our community. Proceeds from this event go directly towards our Cancer Center Breast Health Fund as well as the Cancer Emergency Patient Fund. These funds provide patients with prescription drug assistance, medical supplies, gas cards, and helps with any other needs a patient might have during their treatment at cancer center.
Memorial Health System Golf Outing
Our Memorial Health System Golf Outing is a fun filled day full of golf benefiting the internal grant fund for Memorial Health Foundation. Your fee for the tournament includes green fees, golf cart, boxed lunch, reception, and dinner. Each year, prizes are awarded to the first, second, 14th, and 15th place teams. Skill prizes are awarded on every hole. Individuals or companies can also sponsor individual holes at the event to further support Memorial Health System.
Love Lights
Since 1991, Love Lights has provided an opportunity for people in our community to honor friends and loved ones with beautifully glowing holiday lights. Dedicating a Light of Love is a brilliant way to commemorate a very special person or celebrate how much someone means to you. Love Lights is an opportunity for our community to honor their loved ones while supporting heart and hospice needs.
5K Fund Run
Our annual Memorial Health System Fund Run 5K is an awareness and fundraising event held every fall that benefits the health of our community. Proceeds from the race directly support three funds housed within Memorial Health Foundation: Stroke Support (Bridges Forward), Diabetes Education, and Bariatric Exercise Program.
