Kevin's heart and home needs to stay full and we need your help! As our community moves toward COVID recovery, we are committed to serving our patients and families while making necessary modifications to keep everyone safe.Kevin Guest House normally meets its financial needs through fundraising events held through social gatherings of large groups. COVID has impacted our ability to host these events, and this year more than ever, our budget is significantly at risk without them. We are striving to fill this hole by participating in a friendly fundraising competition. Our Board Members have teamed up with our Giving Hearts crew to each raise $5000. The first 20 teams to reach their $5000 goal will win naming rights to a room on the KGH campus. Funds will be used to help the home keep running at normal capacity, welcoming patients and their family members on the Buffalo Medical Campus, and enabling our guests to receive life-saving medical treatment in their most critical time of need.
