ST. MARY’S HEALTH FOUNDATION SELECTED AS ROTARACT SIGNATURE PROJECT RECIPIENT
The Rotaract Club of Evansville has selected St. Mary’s Health Foundation as the beneficiary of its 2016 Signature Project. The Rotaract Club dedicates its fundraising efforts to one non-profit organization each year that is working for the public benefit to enrich community spirit and alleviate social disadvantage in the Evansville area.
The Signature Project will fund the creation of a Rotaract Club of Evansville Pediatric Reading & Healing Wagon Program at St. Mary’s Hospital for Women & Children. Rotaract members will visit pediatric patients at St. Mary’s Hospital for Women & Children once a month to read to children during their hospital stay. Signature Project funding will purchase books and a wagon to transport the books to individual patient rooms.
“We are thrilled to be the beneficiary of the Rotaract Club’s Signature Project. This program will promote learning and bring smiles and comfort to pediatric patients and their families,†said Carlene Oliver, Director of Pediatrics & Pediatric ICU for St. Mary’s.
Signature Project funding will be presented at the Rotaract general membership meeting on February 4, 2016 at Fifth Third Bank in downtown Evansville (15th floor) at 11:30 a.m.
