Letter from Timothy Balconi
President, Unity Health Foundation
2008 Annual Appeal Donation Form
It's not often in our lives that we get a chance to make a real
difference, become part of something meaningful that has
a direct benefit to others, share a common goal, and
shape the future.
Building
on a 20-year history of charitable giving in Rochester and western
Monroe County, St. Mary's Foundation and Park Ridge Foundation successfully
united as Unity Health Foundation in August 2001. The tax-exempt,
not-for-profit Unity Health Foundation develops financial support
for Unity Health System's programs, services, and related community
needs.
Our
Mission

to fulfill its mission by actively encouraging charitable support
and providing responsible management of its assets.
The
Foundation is governed by a 30-member volunteer board of directors
comprised of individuals from the Greater Rochester community. Members
are elected for up to two three-year terms. The Foundation is a
member of the Rochester Grantmaker's Forum and the Greece Chamber
of Commerce. An annual audit is prepared by Ernst and Young, LLP.

Why

As a contributor to Unity Health Foundation, you help open the door
to a wonderful future for the people Unity Health System serves.
Donating to Unity Health Foundation is also a wonderful way to recognize
a caregiver, family member, or friend.
Today, more than ever, we need people who recognize
that strong, healthy families are critical to a strong, healthy
community. And, at a time when health care needs are at an all time
high, gifts from individuals, businesses, and organizations will
help us invest additional resources where they can bring the highest
and most enduring returns now and for future generations.
A tax-deductible gift to Unity Health Foundation
can do immeasurable good by bringing services to those truly in
need, expanding outreach efforts, building needed health care services,
and improving the health of our community.
