ENSURING THE NEXT 75 YEARS OF MDNA!
by Mark Gauthier, 75th Anniversary Committee Chair
We are well into the year-long fundraising effort for Mount Desert Nursing Association’s 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign, and community members have stepped up encouragingly. Perhaps the best news is that the majority of contributors thus far to the Capital Campaign are new, first-time supporters of MDNA, with funds coming from generous donors in Seal Harbor, Bar Harbor, and Southwest Harbor, in addition to faithful underwriters in Northeast Harbor. Now, with the summer season in full swing and seasonal folks in residence, the energy around the Campaign’s outreach has revved up, as the Committee makes presentations to many of our neighbors for whom, surprisingly, MDNA’s services are unfamiliar. To quote one recent donor, “Thank you for bringing the important work of MDNA to our attention. We want to be good neighbors and community members, so of course you may count us in.”
Our message to prospective supporters is a simple one: while funds raised in regular Spring and Fall appeals go to MDNA’s daily operations, Capital Campaign support goes to building up our all-important investment funds. Why? Because that is what will guarantee another 75 years of home-based skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other home care to our neighbors dealing with every conceivable illness and injury. We’d love to share more about our story, and to count you among our Capital Campaign contributors. Please reach out to us directly!
