PT Athletic Club Membership Drive Raises $3,000 for UGN

PT Athletic Club’s December membership drive to benefit UGN raised $3,000, exceeding last year’s total by $1,000.  Owner Teresa Hoffman said that the club gains new permanent members from the fundraising event, and UGN gets a boost, too.  Carla Caldwell, UGN Executive Director, said the drive is a good example of what can be accomplished when businesses and nonprofit organizations partner to do something good for our community.  From left:  club business manager John Hayes, club instructor Barby Moegling,Hoffman,  Caldwell and UGN board member John Eissinger.  The Port Townsend Athletic Club is located 229 Monroe Street.

Jefferson Healthcare Employees Raise Over $25,000 for UGN!

Jefferson Healthcare’s employee Christmas campaign for UGN exceeded their $25,000 goal by nearly $500.  Thank you to CEO Mike Glenn, Chief Nurse Executive, Joyce Cardinal, and Adminstrative Assistant Penny Westerfield who spearheaded the campaign with great leadership and enthusiasm.   Jefferson Healthcare’s employees are in constant service to the citizens of Jefferson County in so many ways.  Their one time donations or payroll deduction pledges demonstrate their ongoing commitment to make our community a strong and healthy place to work and live!

Please Help Us Reach Our Goal!

We will officially end the public phase of the 2012 campaign in February, with $45,000 more to raise to reach a goal of $240,000.  If every household in Jefferson County who has not donated sent UGN $5, we would reach that goal!  Our individual donors are the foundation of our campaign, and we want people to know that there is no gift that is too small!  Every dollar contributes to our ability to assist 30 plus nonprofit programs in Jefferson County to provide health and human services.  REMEMBER:  EVERY DOLLAR REMAINS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY!

In a difficult economic climate, there are ways that businesses and nonprofits can support one another.  The Muskan Indian Restaurant will donate 20% of its proceeds one day a month to UGN throughout the year to contribute to the 2012 UGN Campaign.   “We want to be a contributing part of the community,” says Muskan owner, Manoj Kumar.  “UGN helps to fund over 30 nonprofits in Jefferson County, so we know our donations will be used effectively.”

“Businesses need to be recognized for their contributions,” states Carla Caldwell, UGN Executive Director.  “When they donate to community organizations through volunteerism and financial support, their efforts need to be publicly acknowledged.  UGN is grateful to the Muskan Indian Restaurant and all Jefferson County business owners who give generously to UGN year after year.”
