Generosity on Display: Two Events Raise Nearly $20,000 for 3D Mobile Mammography Unit

/in

The power of generosity was on full display this week as two special gatherings — Brewed to Give and the 1951 Club Spring Info Social — brought together Self Regional teammates and community members in support of a shared mission.

In just four total hours of gathering, the two events raised just under $20,000 to support the future 3D Mobile Mammography Unit, a transformative initiative that will bring advanced breast screening services directly into communities across the Lakelands.

The week began with Brewed to Give, a donor appreciation and team member engagement event that celebrated current supporters while welcoming new teammates into the Foundation’s mission.

Later in the week, the 1951 Club Spring Social created a warm and welcoming environment for community connection, allowing guests to learn more about the Foundation and how they can be part of meaningful local impact.

Together, the events highlighted the strength of a culture rooted in compassion, generosity, and community-minded leadership.

About the 1951 Club

The 1951 Club is the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation’s annual giving club and offers a practical, financially realistic pathway for teammates and community members to begin their philanthropic journey.

Through ongoing annual support, members help fund important healthcare advancements and community initiatives while making a lasting impact close to home.

A Shared Mission

Funds raised this week will help advance the future 3D Mobile Mammography Unit, increasing access to screening services, encouraging earlier detection, and bringing life-saving care closer to those who need it most.

The Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to every donor, attendee, volunteer, and supporter who helped make these events possible.

When generous hearts gather with purpose, amazing things happen.
