Thank You Friends. . . | |
Thank you to Lois Koepke and her extended family for again naming Mercy Health Foundation as a recipient of proceeds from their annual Bill Koepke Memorial Golf Tournament. This year, 98 golfers participated in this 27th annual tribute to Bill. Since 2004, the Koepke family has contributed $21,800 for cancer care services at Mercy Medical Center.

Knights of Columbus members (L-R) Irma Christian, Geri Gagnon, Peggy Weber, Paula Snyder and Tony Weber present a check to Tracy Goggans, manager of cancer services at Mercy. In the back are Janet Pavelack and Lynn Kleman of the Foundation. |
Special thanks also goes out to the Knights of Columbus, Winneconne Council #8810 for its recent, first-time gift to the Foundation for cancer services. The organization raised the funds through food booth sales during monthly Bingo at the Lions Club in Red Granite. Members wanted to be sure that their gift would help local cancer patients.
Nearly everyone has a family member or knows someone who has been touched by cancer. We are grateful that so many in our communities have been moved to individually or as a group or organization to help Mercy Medical Center provide the very best cancer care close to home. All who have made a gift to Mercy Health Foundation's MercyStrong Cancer Project to help update treatment technology and enhance patient support services will be recognized on a special art glass donor recognition piece in the Michael D. Wachtel Cancer Center. |

Become a Signature Society Member! |
Mercy Health Foundation recently received the first installment of a generous planned gift from a long-time Oshkosh resident. This special person has done a wonderful thing for the health of the community, but we can only thank the attorneys, not her. The donor did not notify the Foundation about the bequest prior to her death.The opportunity was missed to discuss how she would like to be recognized or her specific health interests and to express our gratitute in person.

Donors who have made a commitment to our mission through their estate are eligible for membership in the Mercy Health Foundation Signature Society.

| Watch for the Dragon! | |
We are grateful to a long-time Mercy Health Foundation donor for making it possible for us to offer a free public showing of the documentary Awaken the Dragon. This is a beautifully done film that follows a team of cancer survivors as they train for and compete in a dragon boat race, not unlike the one held in Oshkosh each fall. Watch for more details! |
