LINCOLN – The Lincoln area lost a beloved member of the community when Gene Burwell, 85, passed away last November from COVID-19, but his family has honored his memory by continuing his legacy of helping others.
More than 100 donors gave a total of over $22,000 to the Gene Burwell Memorial Fund for COVID-19 Relief. As vaccinations became more readily available, the family chose to designate the funds specifically toward administration of the COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital (ALMH).
While the vaccines are provided free of charge, the nonprofit hospital incurs costs related to staffing the vaccination clinics and administering the vaccines.
