Riverview Health Foundation has announced that it raised more than $80,000 at its 19th annual Women of Vision Luncheon.
Riverview Health Foundation hosted the luncheon on April 27 at Ritz Charles with more than 300 guests in attendance and raised over $80,000 from sponsorship, tickets, and gifts. Guests had an opportunity to shop from local vendors as well as hear of the impact from grants from the Women of Vision Giving Club. CarDon and Associates was the Diamond Sponsor of this year’s event.
In 2023, more than $43,000 was awarded to the departments within Riverview Health serving women and children. These grants help to pay for car seats for families who don’t have one, help for new moms with breastfeeding, and purchasing supplies for volunteers to make a blanket for every newborn delivered at Riverview Health. The grants also help programs assisting women going through breast cancer with educational materials, wigs, bras, or prosthetic devices that might not be covered by insurance. Proceeds from the luncheon will help fund grants to be made in 2024.
In addition to shopping and learning about the Women of Vision Giving Club, attendees enjoyed lots of laughter hearing from speaker and comedian Amy Dee.
