Hospital Team Members Rally Together to Support 3D Mobile Mammography Bus Campaign

On June 26th, the spirit of generosity and community was on full display inside our hospital as team members gathered for a Pizza & Ice Cream Social in support of an important cause — raising funds for a 3D Mobile Mammography Bus to serve our region.

The event was a lively {and warm} afternoon filled with food, fellowship, and giveaways, including drawings for a VIP parking spot and a PTO Day for participating team members. More than just a celebration, the social was an opportunity to recognize our incredible Team Member Donors and welcome new supporters into the campaign. In just TWO HOURS, our team members raised over $13,000 — all in support of bringing a 3D Mobile Mammography Bus to our community!

“Our staff is the heart of this hospital,” said Jessica Garcia, Development Officer, SRH Foundation, “and seeing them come together for a cause that directly impacts our community is inspiring. Their generosity helps ensure that lifesaving breast screenings are accessible to women across our area, regardless of where they live or their ability to travel to a medical facility.”

Offsite employees weren’t left out of the festivities, either. They were invited to participate through an online information page and prize drawing, showing that no matter where they work, our team members are united by a shared commitment to bettering community health.

Together, we’re making a difference — one slice, one scoop, and one donation at a time.

Mid-Winter Ball Raises $130,000 Towards a New 3-D Mobile Mammography Unit

/in

(Greenwood, SC, March 27, 2025) – The Self Regional Healthcare Foundation is pleased to announce that their 2025 Mid-Winter Ball raised a total of $130,000. 

The Foundation would like to especially thank our Ball Chairs, Dr. Lindsay Snider and Davis Renee Migdalas, for their vision and contributions of time and energy to this year’s ball. 

“We are very pleased with the Ball’s total profit towards the mobile mammography unit. As the Chairs, we understand the need for having the most up-to-date equipment available. There are immeasurable benefits of replacing our current 2-D mammography unit with a more comprehensive 3-D unit that can catch breast cancer at its earliest stages. I want to send a special thank you to our sponsors who make this event possible; we couldn’t even begin to host this event for the community without their support,” said Lindsay Snider. 

“As my first year being involved with the planning of the Mid-Winter Ball, I can honestly see why this event is indeed the premier social gathering of the year. With the help of volunteers and the wonderful Foundation staff, planning this event is as much fun for us as it is the attendees! There are so many community partners that assist in the event, from Self Regional’s Food and Nutrition Team bringing the best gourmet meal, to That Perfect Touch with Artemus Heart making sure our tables are decorated to perfection. We are thankful to the community for their ongoing support of this event. We could not have done this without the local business buy-in and our wonderful Silent Auction Committee,” said Davis Renee Migdalas.

“We are so grateful for the generosity the community shows to Self Regional. In just the last three years, almost $410,000 in charitable support has been generated by our Mid-Winter Ball,” said Jessica Garcia, Development Officer for the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation.  

“The Foundation will celebrate 38 years of the Mid-Winter Ball in 2026. Keep an eye out for date and location details and help make next year a record-breaking Ball,” said Ken Coffey, Executive Director of the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation.
