Honoring those who leave a Legacy for a healthier community. (Pictured above: 2004/05 Legacy Society Award Winners)

The annual Legacy Society dinner of the St. Luke's Magic Valley Health Foundation was held April 11, 2006. The dinner recognized generous businesses, organizations, and individuals who make up the Legacy Society.  Each has provided accumulative gifts of at least $1,000 through the SLMV Health Foundation.

This 2006 dinner, underwritten by KeyBank, recognized past Foundation donors as well as 100 donors who have recently moved to a new donor category. All Legacy Society members are recognized in one of three areas of the hospital: the McKain-Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden, the Cancer Center Wall of Honor, and the Legacy Society Wall of Honor.

Sheepskin Coat Factory & Fur Salon, Craig H. Neilsen (The Craig H. Neilsen Foundation and Canyon Park; a Neilsen & Company Development), Virginia Becker, Miles and Nikki Daisher, Loren Butler, Margaret Sinclair, and Ray and Patricia Neale were all recognized for their outstanding efforts in supporting the mission of the Foundation during 2005 and previous years.

The efforts of these individuals and all of the Legacy Society members are reflected in the financial support the Foundation is able to provide to both the hospital and the community.  Between 10/1/04 and 9/30/05, the SLMV Health Foundation awarded $548,000 in health-related grants for education, equipment, hardship assistance, and wellness programs for all ages. Overall, the Foundation has given over $5 .6 million in support of healthcare programs.
