Pullman, WA— The Pullman Regional Hospital Women’s Leadership Guild helped raise $25,550 in support of the hospital’s COVID-19 Emergency Fund through their first online giving event. Pullman financial advising firm, Values & Vision—The Feuerstein Group at Waddell & Reed, matched donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000.
“We knew our marquee event, Girlfriends Gather, would need to look differently this year because of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” said Guild chair, Angie Feuerstein. “We’re ‘can do’ women, so we put our heads together and went virtual for our philanthropic event in support of our hospital.”
“This is a remarkable demonstration of the power of philanthropy,” said Rueben Mayes, Chief Development Officer for Pullman Regional Hospital. “We are so grateful for the Guild’s ongoing work to empower women and children and cultivate a group of women philanthropists. The match provided by Values & Vision is extraordinary. We are so appreciative of the generous leadership from The Feuerstein Group.”
Since its inception in 2015, the Guild has raised and gifted more than $160,850 to regional non-profits who empower women and children’s health and wellness and Pullman Regional Hospital. Membership contributions and events fund the guild’s charitable giving. In 2019, the guild gifted $32,000 to eight regional non-profits and the Hospital. In addition, the Guild’s inaugural Girlfriends Gather event raised $7,800 and was gifted to Families Together for People with Disabilities.
The Guild has 48 members and is chaired by Angie Feuerstein with board members Ashley Alred, Karlene Beaumont, Susie Skavdahl and Stacey Swift. To learn more about membership, contact Stephanie Pierce at Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation (509) 332-2044.
