May 30, 2009 - Six months ago John Kohler, a Hospital Foundation member and volunteer, came to The Hospital Foundation with his vision of Fairbanks' residents picnicking on the lush lawn of Griffin Park, eating, playing, listening to live music, and raising literally a "ton of change" to help build The Harry & Sally Porter Heart Center. The Hospital Foundation, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital's operator Banner Health, and The Kohlers worked together to bring such a vision to life.
The Downtown Association and many local businesses; Mt. McKinley Bank, Denali State Bank, Great Northwest, Baker & Associates Insurance, The Turtle Club, Glow Putt Alaska Mini Golf, Kohler Schmitt & Hutchison, and Trademark the Screenprinters; helped The Hospital Foundation by having coin canisters within their establishments to help raise extra coins to benefit the Porter Heart Center.
In true fashion, Fairbanks' residents came out to Griffin Park to show their support to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and The Hospital Foundation by bring their piggy banks filled with change to help build the Porter Heart Center and they raised 4,200lbs of coins. That is about $11,200.00. Thank you Fairbanks! Coin donations are still being received and The Hospital Foundation will place updates on the website.
In addition to raising money, residents were entertained by the Lathrop Ballroom Dance Team, Noisy Furniture, Julie Engfer, The Amazing Carl Addington, RUKUS, Sand Castle, and Chris Juhlin.
All of us at The Hospital Foundation would like to thank Fairbanks for their donations to The Harry & Sally Porter Heart Center. If you would like to contribute or help volunteer to the Campaign, please
