St. Michael's Foundation is the fundraising arm for all of St. Michael's programs – including hospital, nursing home, and hospice/home care. We are a not-for-profit organization, and our Board Members do not receive compensation for serving on the Board. One hundred percent of contributions received by St. Michael's Foundation go directly to funding projects and improvements at St. Michael's.
St. Michael's plays an important role in the health and well being of the people of Sauk Centre and in the surrounding area. We need to make sure that St. Michael's remains viable into the future. We invite you to support the Foundation in whatever ways you can and help us continue our tradition of quality local health care.
Thank you for your consideration,
--Mark Kranz, Foundation Chair

Dear Friends:
St. Michael's rich tradition of community support began more than 60 years ago. Back then, friends and neighbors joined hands to help build, furnish and open the hospital. This Power of Many is even more important today. We welcome your participation and encourage you to consider how you might be able to help keep St. Michael's strong now and for the future.
For information about volunteering, please call Peggy Pooler, volunteer coordinator (320-352-2221; ppooler@stmichaelshospital.org. To find out more about giving, events and activities, please call or email me (320-352-2221; cmalmrose@stmichaelshospital.org.)
Thank you. -- Cynthia Malmrose, Foundation Director
