Pasquale and Anita Paletta Transformational Gift
On September 27, 2016 the Pasquale
and Anita Paletta Family announced a
transformational gift of $5 Million to
the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation,
and issued a challenge to the people of
Burlington and surrounding communities.
Thanks to their extraordinary generosity,
donations made to the Joseph Brant
Hospital Foundation will be matched,
dollar-for-dollar, through the $5 Million
Pasquale and Anita Paletta Family
Match Challenge.
By issuing this challenge, the Paletta
family encouraged all donors to double
the impact of your gift in support of
our Hospital’s critical needs and the
26
Joseph Brant Hospital
redevelopment and expansion project to
build a new Joseph Brant Hospital.
The Paletta family has always called
Burlington their home, and have
continually looked for ways to do more
for our community. Since establishing
their family businesses in Burlington
in 1964, they have worked to identify
opportunities to create a better
community in which to work and live.
Thanks to the leadership of the Paletta
family, and the support of the community,
this Match Challenge will generate $10
Million, and help complete our $60
Million Our New Era Campaign.
