Launching a Legacy

With a sense of gratitude for past successes, Little Company of Mary Community Health Foundation launched the largest fund-raising effort in the history of this community healthcare system — the Legacy Campaign.

 
With a vision reaching beyond today and tomorrow, the $50 million Legacy Campaign focuses on key initiatives to meet community health needs far into the future. Expectation and celebration joined hands as several hundred supporters enjoyed the October 12th kick-off at the beautiful cliff-side estate of Julian and Carolyn Elliott. Honorary Campaign Chairman Bill DeMucci unveiled the check announcing over $20 million in private support — nearly half of the campaigns $50 million goal — from gifts that have already been secured.

 
Passionate about Little Company of Mary’s mission embracing the care of the sick, regardless of the ability to pay, DeMucci spoke about his commitment. “My wife Mary Ann and I take the matter of charitable giving very seriously and we discussed it long and hard. We concluded that to make a meaningful impact, we needed to concentrate our giving to one charity rather than give small amounts to the many organizations that request donations. Little Company of Mary has the mission and goals we believe in, so we made this organization the focus of our giving. We also believe in taking a long-term view of giving and have included Little Company of Mary in our estate planning.”

Demonstrating their commitment with extraordinary generosity, the DeMuccis joined with four others in providing pledges totaling $10 million of the already secured $20 million. LCM Chief Executive Blair Contratto acknowledged the leadership gifts from the Centofante Foundation, the Vasek and Maria Polak Charitable Foundation, the Hazel Rauch Estate, and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. In addition, the Little Company of Mary Hospital Auxiliary, under the leadership of Margie Mondello, pledged $750,000.   Continue »
