BMH Foundation Annual Campaign exceeds goal

Despite difficult economic conditions the Muncie community stepped forward and once again showed their overwhelming support to Ball Memorial Hospital and the BMH Foundation.

A goal of $225,000 was set last fall for the 2008 BMH Foundation Annual Campaign. At the conclusion of the campaign the 2008 Campaign Chair, Charles Sursa, announced the campaign had raised more than $413,000.

“The timing of this campaign coinciding with bleak economic times really presented a challenge,” Sursa said. “But we had a lot of help and an extraordinary group of volunteers who really made a difference. I just thank everyone involved for supporting a campaign and at the same time supporting one of our most important local resources, Ball Hospital.” 

Sursa made the announcement at an afternoon event attended by campaign volunteers and supporters of the BMH Foundation from throughout the community.

“We were very thankful, perhaps this year more than ever, for the response our campaign received from the community,” said Dan Canan, President, BMH Foundation. “It was a perfect example of what the dedication and hard work of people in our community can accomplish.”

Leadership from the medical community was a major contributor to the success of the 2008 BMH Foundation annual campaign. In addition to the leadership of Charles Sursa as Campaign Chair, the BMH Foundation also benefited from the support of Michael Galliher as Vice Chair, Joseph Songer, MD as Honorary Chair, and Dr. Donna Wilkins, MD and Thomas Kundenreich, MD as Physician Chairs.

The AEP Foundation contributed a significant lead gift which will help fund a green roof for the new John W. Fisher Heart Center.
