Annual Giving Report 2017
On behalf of the Foundation Board of Directors, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your support. You chose to make a moment matter and supported the work of the AtlantiCare Foundation. Whether inspired by a personal experience of your own or simply as a result of an internal desire to give back to the community we proudly share, you are forging a hopeful future for others. Thank you. We are happy to share with you this report on giving from our 2016-2017 giving year. We hope it will provide you with valuable insight on how each and every dollar raised was put to work to make a difference in the communities we serve. We hope that as we continue to celebrate the Foundation’s 40th Anniversary you will join us by either renewing or possibly furthering your commitment to our organization. It is truly with your support that we are able to transform, grow and prepare for the healthcare needs of the future – together. All the best,
Pat Agnellini, Esq. Chairman of the Board of Directors, AtlantiCare Foundation
I feel incredibly lucky to have had the privilege of serving two terms as the Chairman of the Board for the AtlantiCare Foundation from 2013 to 2017. During this time, I was proud to be a part of a teamwhere we were able to provide 355 free mammogram screenings that led to the early detection of seven patients, raise more than $97,000 toward our behavioral health initiative to curb local opioid use and prevent suicides, and install 78 community gardens through the Growing Green program, just to name a few. You were the most vital part of the team. Together, with your generous gifts of time, goodwill and financial support, we have been able to make moments matter to many of our friends and neighbors. However, as we celebrate our successes in this report, there are certainly many more life-changing moments to be made. I invite you to join my successor, Pat, as he embarks on a journey this year with the AtlantiCare Foundation during its 40th Anniversary campaign, paying homage to our founders and ensuring investments continue to be made to secure our community’s future. Sincerely,
Ben Zeltner, Esq. Immediate Past Chairman of the Board of Directors, AtlantiCare Foundation
