DEDICATED SPONSORS BUILD EVENT CAPACITY

We sure had a great year of signature events – bringing Spring Fling , Hospital Bed Races , and Festival of Trees back ‘ off-line ’ and in-person ! And we owe the success of these events to our dedicated sponsors who commit resources months , or even years , in advance to keep the fun and fundraising going . Knowing that reoccurring sponsors have our back means we can make adjustments to the program , décor , entertainment , and ambiance to keep our events flexible and interesting . It ’ s really important for the events to showcase the Health Foundation ’ s fundraising goals and to balance that against ensuring sponsors , donors , and guests attend a phenomenal event . Having long-term and reoccurring sponsors ensures that we can be absolutely focused on exploring the creativity that attracts attendees , and containing costs means we deliver on budget with the net proceeds going to support healthcare initiatives . Let ’ s meet some of our amazing long-term sponsors .
ATB Financial : For over 25 years ATB Financial has sponsored events with the Foundation enabling us to offer new elements and expand our fundraising efforts . We love the dedication to volunteers that ATB consistently demonstrates with leadership gifts that support volunteer recruitment , training , and engagement . Thank you , ATB , for keeping healthcare close to home and helping build community healthcare capacity .
CNOOC International : Consistently sponsoring our signature events , CNOOC is a generous and sustaining partner . Festival of Trees gets an extra fundraising boost thanks to the Stocking Stuffer 50 / 50 raffle presented by CNOOC and our Hospital Bed Race participants are fueled for success thanks to CNOOC ’ s sponsorship . For almost 20 years CNOOC has supported the Health Foundation ’ s signature events , health programs , and capital campaigns and have made major investments in improving healthcare and health outcomes throughout the region .
Stony Valley Contracting : Nothing says welcome to Festival of Trees or Spring Fling like the signature cocktail handed out by the Health Foundation Board and graciously sponsored by Stony Valley ! In addition to being an enduring event hospitality sponsor , Stony Valley Contracting has funded major capital campaigns including the creation of the Jeremy Snook Memorial Palliative Care Suites at the hospital . Advancing local healthcare is important to the owners and employees of Stony Valley and we greatly appreciate their support .
We offer a huge thank you to all our sponsors and look to featuring your company in an upcoming issue of The Checkup !
