VHHP Members Rise to Challenge
The recently completed Virgie Hegg Hospice Partners (VHHP) 2010 Annual Membership Campaign has successfully raised over $4000 in memberships, toward the continuing goal of supporting patients and their families in receiving quality hospice services in central Saint Louis County. The challenge to renewing members was to sign up 1 or more new members along with their own renewal. By talking to family, friends or neighbors whom have experienced the benefits of hospice care and encouraging their support in the form of membership, the VHHP Board was able to exceed their goal of $3000 needed to receive matching funds from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Thanks to a generous grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, every $4 raised by VHHP during the month of May, generated $1 in matching funds, up to a total of $750. This additional support ended a successful campaign in excess of $5000. The Board of Directors thanks those of you who responded with your membership!
VHHP members receive a copy of the annual Spring and Fall newsletters and an invitation to the Annual Meeting held in June. The Board of Directors is elected by membership at the Annual Meeting. All membership contributions are tax deductible.
Throughout the year VHHP supports hospice patients and their families by providing medical supplies & equipment not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. VHHP also helps to provide bereavement & grief support for surviving family and friends, continuing education & development for hospice staff, and annual scholarships for local high school and college students.
The VHHP Board of Directors is extremely grateful for the continued support of new and renewing members. Membership support makes it possible for VHHP to fulfill its primary purpose of supporting quality hospice & respite care in the communities of central Saint Louis County.
New members are welcome to join VHHP at any time throughout the year. For more information visit us online at www.vhhp.org.
