Due to email communication issues early in the campaign, the deadline to establish a gift to this year’s Team Member Giving Campaign has been extended to Friday, Dec. 9.
This annual campaign, which was originally set to close on Tuesday, Nov. 28, provides team members an opportunity to give to their choice of many important funds and programs that benefit our communities, patients, families and team members. Giving even a little bit can make a big difference in the lives of those in need!
So far, our campaign has received commitments from team members for $577,000, with about 13.5% of our team members participating. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, and if you haven’t made a donation but you’d still like to, we thank you in advance!
NOTE: If you donate $6 per pay period (annual total of $156), you will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt that is approved to wear on Fridays. But you must submit your gift by midnight on Friday, Dec. 9, to be eligible for the t-shirt.
How to give
- You will receive a personalized email from Ballad Health Foundation that will let you make a donation. (Do not forward, though, as this link is personalized for you.)
- We’ve tried to make it as convenient as possible for team members to make a donation. You can give by credit card, check, cash or payroll deduction.
- You can also mail in your donation form. Here’s a donation form in PDF format that can be printed, filled out and emailed back to Samantha Denlinger at Samantha.Denlinger@balladhealth.org.
Other important facts
- Tapping into the spirit of teamwork and giving for which Ballad Health is known, this year’s theme is “For one. For all.”
- In an effort to make things more convenient, team members have the option to make a sustainable gift that automatically renews each year. That way, team members can choose how much they want to give and which programs they want to receive their donation – but there’s no need to go through the same donation process each year, because it automatically rolls over to the next year.
- Any team member who clicks on their personalized giving link will automatically be entered in a weekly drawing for gift cards.
Important change to this year’s campaign
- Unlike last year, your gift will NOT automatically roll over. Instead, everyone must re-enroll a new gift amount or manually roll over your current giving amount.
- Once you have completed this process this year, your gift will continue until you reach out to Foundation staff to increase, decrease or cancel your ongoing gift.
How does my donation help?
This campaign funds a range of programs and services, including the Niswonger Children’s Network, Patient Assistance, Team Member Emergency Fund, United Way Agencies, and more. Every year, the money our team members give makes a real difference in the lives of people in our community – and you can choose what you want your donation to support.
