Riverwood Foundation would like to thank all who contributed to the success of the 29th annual Hospice Charity Event with its premiere golf tournament and dinner held July 8th at Ruttger’s Resort, Deerwood. See donor list and photos. We raised more than $20,000 for local hospice care offered through HomeHealth Partnership in Aitkin and Crow Wing counties.

Riverwood Foundation has much to be thankful for this holiday season. Over the past month, the Aitkin Lions Club, McGregor Lions Clubs and Tamarack Sno-Flyers have all made generous gifts to Riverwood Foundation for the Better Together Capital Campaign totaling $5,000. In addition, these contributions have been matched dollar for dollar by the Otto Bremer Foundation, which pledged a $300,000 matching grant to the campaign earlier this year.
With the support of these civic groups and other local healthcare supporters, the Foundation has raised more than $1.4 million toward its campaign goal of $2.2 million.
The Foundation hopes to reach the Bremer challenge by December 31, which will bring the total amount raised to $1.6 million to support the hospital expansion project.

Style show raises funds for hospital
Monday, October 17th, 2011
On September 17, the Riverwood Healthcare Auxiliary presented its first style show and luncheon in Aitkin.
The event took place at the Westside Church where 150 guests were served a delicious luncheon catered by Kathy Larson. Emcee Bryan Johnson helped make the show’s musical arrangements. Vocal entertainment was provided by Paul and Becky Zenke.
Profits from this event will help the Auxiliary make its second payment on its $100,000 pledge to the Better Together campaign for the hospital expansion/building fund.
Twenty-four Auxiliary volunteers and community members modeled clothing from area thrift stores in Aitkin, Brainerd, Garrison and McGregor. Apparel included everything from baby-doll pajamas, to beautiful evening gowns, a maid serving tea, prom dresses, casual wear, a mink jacket from someone’s attic, a mother’s wedding dress, a gardener carrying a basket of fresh vegetables, and golfers prepared to golf in any kind of Minnesota weather.
The event committee included Ardy Akerson, Jeanne Christian, Ruth Ferguson, Dorothy Glidden, Marilyn Johnson, Karen Landrus and Jean Peterson. Support from the local thrift stores and the community helped make this event possible.
Riverwood Auxiliary welcomes new members. For volunteer and membership information, call 927-5508.
