Foundation Event Calendar

Our Foundation events bring our community together to support exceptional healthcare close to home. Funds raised through CMH Foundation events support Compass Memorial Healthcare, helping enhance patient care, invest in advanced medical technology, and improve and expand our facilities to better serve our communities.

Through Hope for All, we also host special events specifically dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families. Funding for this program is raised through a variety of community efforts, including Lavender Out events at all local schools throughout our service area, 4-H club fundraisers, partnerships with local businesses, and ongoing employee and community donations.

The CMH Foundation also hosts meaningful community traditions such as Tree of Lights, which provides an opportunity to honor loved ones while giving back. In addition, Butler’s Bunch, our monthly cancer support group, offers connection, encouragement, and hope for individuals navigating a cancer journey.

By participating in our events, you are supporting your community, standing beside a neighbor facing cancer, and helping ensure Compass Memorial Healthcare continues to provide compassionate, high-quality care for generations to come.
