Community Gifts Push RMC Closer to $500K Endowment Goal

Community Gifts Push RMC Closer to $500K Endowment Goal

June 5, 2026 in Fund Development, News

Regional Medical Center (RMC) is closing in on its $500,000 Endowment Fund goal, with the fund currently sitting at $345,970.07. To celebrate this progress, RMC is highlighting two recent examples of inspiring community generosity.

First, a generous $15,000 gift was made in memory of Kathy Otting, a beloved Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who provided compassionate inpatient care at RMC for over 37 years. To honor Kathy, her family chose to divide their gift, creating a dual legacy of support. $7,500 went to the RMC Auxiliary’s Tree of Lights for student healthcare scholarships and $7,500 was dedicated to the RMC Endowment Fund.

Additionally, the Manchester Masonic Lodge contributed $5,000 to the Endowment Fund to help ensure RMC remains a strong healthcare provider for generations to come.

Gifts to the Endowment Fund focus on long-term financial stability. When you donate to the Endowment, the principal amount remains intact (never spent), while the investment income it generates is available to support RMC’s ongoing needs.

Major supporters donating $1,000 or more qualify for recognition on RMC’s Giving Wall inside River Ridge Pavilion or room naming opportunities to further honor or memorialize a loved one.
