Ambassador Challenge Introduced by Evangelical Community Hospital

Evangelical Community Hospital is introducing a new way to support its commitment to the community with the Ambassador Challenge. Featured community representatives will be promoting the Hospital’s mission and encouraging charitable giving as ambassadors for the Hospital.

Denise Haddon of Selinsgrove; Timm Moyer of Watsontown; and Leslie Temple of Lewisburg are ambassadors of this inaugural campaign in 2022. Throughout May, these ambassadors will give voice to the Hospital’s impact on the Central Susquehanna Valley.

Each ambassador has been challenged to raise $10,000 toward the overall program goal all while sharing the good news of programs and services the Hospital provides. The goal of the Ambassador Challenge, through all activities, is to raise $100,000 to support Evangelical Care Fund, the cornerstone of charitable support. The Care Fund provides a foundation of financial support of Community Health and Wellness screenings, events, and education; Mobile Health of Evangelical; Evangelical Regional Mobile Medical Services (ERMMS), the Hospital’s paramedic and EMT response; The Family Place, the Hospital’s obstetrics unit; Hospice of Evangelical, end-of-life care; and more.

Community members can support the challenge by:

• Donating to one of the ambassadors as they participate in a friendly competition to raise the most funds.
• Participating in an online auction featuring a range of items from local businesses and more. A photo session, gas grill, a personal chef for fine dining in your home, a grazing table for 20 people, sports tickets, and more are up for bid.
• Taking a chance in a raffle for a 2-minute shopping spree at Weis Markets (select locations/some restrictions apply).

To participate, visit www.evanhospital.com/ambassador until the end of May. The Ambassador of the Year, winners of the raffle and auction items, and the final fundraising results will be announced in June.

This year’s Ambassador Challenge is made possible by the generous support of sponsors including Fulton Bank, Griffith Development, McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, Mifflinburg Bank & Trust, and Weis Markets, as well as many other businesses and organizations who are recognized on the Ambassador website.
