Annual Update: Celebrating 120 Years of Service
|
LifeCare Alliance is proud to share our newest
Annual Update
— a progress report on the services that we provide throughout the central Ohio community, as well as a celebration of our 120th year of
Nourishing the Human Spirit
.
With the growing success of our social enterprise, volunteer engagement, and merger partnerships, LifeCare Alliance continues to prepare itself to serve clients of today, as well as clients of tomorrow!
In 2017, social enterprise and fundraising represented 42% of our total revenues. That's huge when you consider that in 2000 that number was close to zero. We continue the vision of our founder, Catherine Nelson Black, while remaining one of the few agencies of our kind accepting all qualified clients in need.
With the release of our Annual Update this month, you will see the continued impact of our services on the central Ohio community. You will also learn more about our Endowment Campaign and "Challenge Gift."
Thank you for standing with us for another year. Together, we are
Nourishing the Human Spirit
!

Volunteers, Partners Fuel Fan Campaign Success

This summer, our Beat the Heat Fan Campaign has collected over 2,000 fans to distribute to those in need!
We would not be able to do this without the amazing volunteer and fire station partners.
You can drop off a fan at any local fire station, and a volunteer driver will pick them up and deliver the fans to LifeCare Alliance. This is a great way for everyone to get involved by either donating a fan, becoming a volunteer, or spreading the word.

CODA Celebrates Successful Camp Season

The Central Ohio Diabetes Association has wrapped up its season of
diabetes camps!
This year, nearly 200 campers from Ohio and neighboring states learned to #takecontrol of their diabetes management while participating in fun traditional camp adventures.
As a special treat, Camp Hamwi Senior Week campers got to meet IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 22. Kimball shared a powerful message of perseverance and assured campers that they can be anything they want to be.
CODA also celebrated reaching its fundraising goal in the Better Together campaign, which provided a new permanent storage unit and camp supplies.
