University is fortunate to have a Foundation that works every day to extend the mission of the hospital by helping the residents of our community, including the uninsured and underinsured, achieve and maintain optimal health.
In 2011, their Miracle Mile Walk set records in participation and dollars raised with more than 5,000 walkers and $300,000 for breast cancer programs. Their Young Philanthropist Event attracted national country music artist Josh Kelley and raised $47,000 for the Heart & Vascular Institute. The Foundation raised thousands more with events such as Art Patchin and the Jernigan Golf Tournament to support patients in need, and they secured a $1 million gift to build an Alzheimer's facility at Brandon Wilde.
