Partnering to Keep Community Members Healthy

The HRMC Foundation is committed to improving health care locally, and recently some long-time partners helped us meet that goal. The Huron High School Volleyball Team, Runnings Farm & Fleet and Prostrollo Motor Sales hosted events to gather vital donations for HRMC’s life-saving care.

These donations go towards the HRMC Foundation’s We’ve Got You Covered fund, which has raised more than$20,000 so far to help with the purchase of HRMC’s new 3D mammography system. The system offers women greater breast cancer detection accuracy when cancer is at treatable stages. It also reduces false positives on screening tests.

An Array of Life-Changing Events

This October, the Huron Tigers volleyball team hosted their Pink Out event with t-shirt sales and an online basket auction. First year head coach, Josh Lien, says it’s important to keep the Pink Out going strong.

“So many families are impacted by breast cancer in some way,” Lien says. “The Pink Out is another opportunity to remind young female athletes about early detection. Alumni always come back on Pink Out night, and I see generations of Tigers who have given back to HRMC’s Foundation.”

For almost 10 years, Runnings has supported the HRMC Foundation with their annual Ladies’ Night

Out. This year’s Ladies’ Night Out included discount programs, vendor demonstrations and prize giveaways.

“Each year Ladies’ Night Out gets bigger and better,” says Shane Hood, store manager. “Our employees get behind the event, and the large turnout every year says a lot about what HRMC means to the community.” Also in October, Prostrollo Motor Sales hosted the fifth annual 1-Mile Walk for Breast Cancer around Ravine Lake. Along with t-shirt sales, the event featured several raffles, goody bag giveaways and a traveling trophy, which was gifted to the group with the largest participation. “We appreciate the time and effort our local partners put into these events and their passion for the cause,” says Shawn Martin, executive director of HRMC Foundation. “They not only raise more dollars for this worthy cause but also help educate the public about the ‘We’ve Got You Covered’ program and inspire others to support the Foundation’s work.”
