LA GRANDE â The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation wrapped up its fundraising year in April with a livestream event that showcased the organizationâs efforts and brought in about $6,000.
Foundation Manager Patrick Flynn said the online happening on the evening of April 16 went better than he had hoped, and the 80-minute video has drawn at least 1,100 views, so the Foundationâs message continues to get out. Going to a livestream event, he said, was due to COVID-19.
âAs with everyone this last year, COVID kind of blew everything up. We normally have our gala in mid- to late March and that event is our largest fundraiser,â Flynn said.
