Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services | Gibson gets it! | Fall/Winter 2019

Gibson gets it! 19 Glo Bingo is a big hit A new and unique fundraising experience for the Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) community, Glo Bingo brought in a combined total of 640 players to the Kruse Center for two memorable nights! Fundraising was paired with music, entertainment, black lights and food trucks, and all profits from the events benefited the medical office building project. Bill Kirby, Employee & Community Events Coordinator, along with Jami Smith, CRHCP, and the Personnel and Retention Committee, had three goals for the Glo Bingo events: to raise money for the Gibson Area Hospital (GAH) Foundation campaign, to be affordable, and to have fun. For Kirby, it was “Mission accomplished! A donation total of over $17,000 was given to the GAH Foundation for their capital campaign. Tickets sold out for both events, and everyone had a great time.” Supporting you Because Gibson Gets It!
