25th Annual Headwaters Health Care Foundation Gala Raises $748,000 for Cancer Care Equipment!
On Friday, September 13th, the 25th Annual Headwaters Foundation Gala was a resounding success, raising $748,000 (NET) in one evening for vital medical equipment with a focus on cancer care, close to home. To kick off the evening of fundraising George and Bonnie Ledson announced a $100,000 donation. This was an exciting surprise to all those in attendance. The Ledsons were followed by Steve & Sandra Hartman, Kirk & Joyce Brannon and Andrew Brenton who all gave $100,000 as well! The Ledsons, Hartmans, Brannons and Brentons have all been incredibly generous supporters of Headwaters Health Care Foundation. Their remarkable gifts created great momentum for donations throughout the evening and inspired others to make significant contributions that helped us to surpass our goal.
