Foundation Celebration Results – We Shot for the Stars!

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, donors and attendees, the Urgent Care Foundation Celebration was not only a great evening of dinner and dancing but a successful fundraiser to support future public awareness and education campaigns.

The Silent Auction raised $26,985 while the paddle raise resulted in a $29,000 donation to the Foundation. The evening concluded with dancing to The Diamond West Band. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Celebration.

We can’t wait to update you on how we use these funds to further enable the viability of Urgent Care.
