THE QUALITY OF BEING THANKFUL; READINESS TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR AND TO RETURN KINDNESS. GRATEFULNESS, THANKFULNESS, APPRECIATION, INDEBTEDNESS, RECOGNITION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, CREDIT.

It is encouraging when we receive a gift from a generous donor that allows us to say "yes" to one more child, family, or deserving adult who can benefit from the services provided by Carolinas HealthCare System. Because of you, Carolinas HealthCare Foundation has the opportunity to impact healthcare in this community in a unique and personal way.

Every day, we witness the influence our donors have on the lives of patients who are treated throughout the Carolinas. We see, first-hand, how the latest technology, research, programs, and amenities that our donors fund are helping to change the delivery of healthcare.

Whether gifts are received from grateful patients, devoted youth, professional athletes, large corporations, small businesses, or families - our benefactors are all committed to a common cause: providing the finest healthcare services to patients in need, regardless of where they may live or their ability to pay. Often our donors are the driving force behind a life-changing project or initiative. They deserve the credit for helping Carolinas HealthCare Foundation raise more than $18 million in 2015.

Ultimately, our success is determined not solely by the buildings we help construct, but by the investment Carolinas HealthCare System and our donors make in the people and programs that bring each facility to life. Our goal is to offer critical support that enables Carolinas HealthCare System professionals to bring caring, commitment, integrity and teamwork to a vitally important healing mission. The motivating force behind all of this activity is fulfilling our duty to meet community needs. Thank you for your consideration of support to help us meet this mission.

There is no way to fully express our gratitude for your loyalty. Our team at Carolinas HealthCare Foundation is inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors like yourself who answer the call to give without fail. We hope that some of your most meaningful stories will move others to join us as we continue to make an extraordinary impact in the Carolinas and beyond.

With gratitude,


Scott Kerr
PRESIDENT
CAROLINAS HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION
