THANK YOU!

The Foundation would like to thank everyone who participated in making Ability Day a success as we celebrated National Rehab week in September 2022!

We are thrilled to report we met the Sheltering Arms Institute Leadership challenge of receiving 100 gifts! This achievement unlocked their incredible gift of $12,000! The Ability Day participation to support Project Gratitude was amazing.

Among other items Project Gratitude helps the patient experience at the hospital by providing welcome bags and wheelchair totes for every patient admitted. Because of this incredible Giving Power, Project Gratitude will continue to fund programs that improve patient outcomes and celebrate the incredible, compassionate, hard work performed by each of you every day! Way to go Sheltering Arms Community!

We received 160 gifts totaling over $83,000!

Stay tuned for additional information on Ability Day 2023 –celebrated September 20, 2023.

Birdies for Charity

Thank you to all who made Birdies for Charity 2022 a hole in one!

Sheltering Arms Foundation is committed to maximizing our community impact by participating in Birdies for Charity presented by TowneBank. Every gift we received through Birdies for Charity was bonused by 10%. All gifts received supported our Annual Fund which provides such things as advanced rehab technology, program support, and other projects advancing physical rehabilitative care in our community.

Over a hundred nonprofit organizations in our community participated last year. Thank you for helping us place 28th on the leaderboard.

We are excited to share through the generosity of 29 donors, we received over $14,000 in gifts including the 10% matching bonus from Birdies for Charity!

Dear Friends and Donors,

The month of January is named for the Roman god, Janus, usually depicted looking back and forward. As the Foundation team looks back, we are humbled and filled with gratitude for your support of the Sheltering Arms mission. In 2022, we exceeded our $25 million Campaign for Convergence public goal by over $1.2 million and set a record year in Annual Giving. You, our loyal donor community, have made amazing stories possible. You will read about real people and their families in these pages. These are but a few stories. Since SAI opened in June 2020, over 6000 people from across the Mid-Atlantic region have received advanced rehab care in the walls you help build. 32% have come from beyond 60 miles. As we look forward, we are advancing the science of rehab medicine, teaching future generations, improving outcomes, and improving access to care with growth plans on the Goochland campus and across the Richmond metro area. None of this can happen without you! Our teams are working hard to make you, our donors, proud to be on this journey with us. Please take a few minutes to savor these stories of courage, perseverance, and generosity.

Thank you,

John “Mac” L. McElroy III President of Sheltering Arms Foundation
