At 120 Years, LifeCare Alliance Securing Future
|
Last month, LifeCare Alliance marked 120 years from the date that Catherine Nelson Black gathered with 18 other women in the parlor of her home at 1000 Bryden Road to form the Instructive District Nursing Association.
We've changed names since 1898, but our commitment to Carrie's mission to "take care of those no one else pays any attention to" remains constant. And one of our most critical tasks today is to secure our future.
This year, LifeCare Alliance will look to build its Legacy Endowment through a $5 Million Match Campaign.
An anonymous donor has generously committed to matching the first $5 million in Endowment gifts, beginning in 2018.
This Campaign creates an opportunity for individuals and families impacted by the work of LifeCare Alliance to express their stewardship and leave their legacies in concrete and meaningful ways.
If you are interested in learning more about the Legacy Endowment Campaign or how you can become a member of the Catherine Nelson Black Society,
please contact Chuck Gehring, President and CEO at 614-437-2801 or Rebecca Hurd, Director of Advancement at 614-437-2867.

In addition to this $5 million endowment match, you can also double your impact this year through a Challenge Gift!
Our anonymous donor is continuing to match new or increased donations in 2018 - up to $200,000. Just mark your donation “Challenge Gift” and you will help feed the seniors and medically challenged in our community who are most in need.

CODA Gearing Up for Summer Youth Camps
|
|
Spring is almost here, which means summer camp won't be too far behind!
Did you know that the Central Ohio Diabetes Association has offered Camp Hamwi for more than 50 years?
In this unique summer camp experience, campers learn to take control of their diabetes management while participating in exciting traditional summer camp activities. They learn about nutrition, insulin therapy, and blood glucose monitoring.
Camp staff include cabin counselors, social workers, nurses, dietitians, and physicians. Many staffers have diabetes themselves, and former campers can seek training to become part of the Camp Hamwi team.
CODA’s summer youth camps allow children and families to connect with a community of support, part of a lifelong path to living well while navigating the challenges of diabetes.
To learn more about CODA's summer diabetes camps, including registration details, call 614-884-4400 or visit www.diabetesohio.org.
